An apology to our readers

I want to apologize to our readers.

The use of the word "decadence" today in a headline in our print edition for a story about free and reduced lunches at public schools was a terrible error in judgment.

In no way did the Daily Chronicle intend to demean those who participate in these programs.

We know you expect more from us, as we do. I apologize for letting our readers down today.
