  • Chief Wiggum's skin color is brown instead of yellow, also his hair is black instead of blue.
  • Bart's test score raised the entire score of the school by 1, so technically, since the school was judged the worst in the state, it would still make Springfield Elementary the worst school in the state, but tied with the second-worst, presumably Wilson Elementary, which was set to be destroyed. So, neither school would have been destroyed and more standardized testing should have been done.
