Now you see it, now you don't

The print and online versions of Staff Writer Joseph Ax's Teaneck school election story today differ a good deal. Missing from the newspaper is the following paragraph:

"The growing Orthodox population has accelerated the disparity in racial and ethnic makeup between the school system and the town as a whole. As of October, only 14 percent of the schools’ 4,000 students were white, compared with 52 percent of the town’s overall population."
Who was the editor making up pages on the news desk of The Record of Woodland Park that cut that important graph?

Although Ax says an Orthodox Jew now sits on the school board, he doesn't bother to tell readers just how this man has been voting on fiscal and other issues. Where was his assignment editor? Where was the news copy editor? Where was the slot? Sitting on the can reading the Daily News? (Map: Teaneck.)
