School district solicits partners in 'pubic education'

9/14/2012

The Red Lion Area School District wishes it had hired a proofreader right about now. The Pennsylvania district proudly hung up a banner advertising its sponsorship opportunities without realizing it had made a super unfortunate spelling error. (Go ahead, look at that picture again.) "Of all the missed letters, it had to be that one," said Don Dimoff, the Red Lion district's marketing and communications manager. "The sign company feels horrible because they missed it. The people who hung the sign feel horrible. … I feel horrible." The district did release an apology for the banner that hung outside of Horn Field and, whew, we're glad they didn't attempt to put that name on the banner too." [Source]
