What do they teach at this school!?
School official explains embarrassing typo on ‘public’ school sports sign
Note to school districts: If you are going to produce a field-side banner aiming at increasing sponsorship via the sales of other similar banners, make sure that your own product is spell checked before it goes to the printers, and after it comes out.
In particular, avoid the mistake made by the Red Lion Area School District -- a school district in Pennsylvania -- in the banner above, as first noted by Deadspin and originally posted to Twitter by Ryan Petzar. Go ahead and read the text on that sign twice. The spelling mistake is as embarrassing as it is innocuous.
Clearly, Red Lion officials were advocating that they were a purveyor of public education, not "pubic education." That was confirmed by Don Dimoff, the marketing and communications manager for the Red Lion School District in a conversation with Prep Rally on Thursday.
"To be honest with you, all that really happened was the sign company made a spelling error, and in the midst of putting it up for a football game some of the other people missed it," Dimoff told Prep Rally. "As soon as we found out about it the damage had already been done. It was an honest mistake. It doesn't reflect on the quality of our sponsors or our programs. It was just an honest mistake by a sign company.

Neither spelling nor proofreading, apparently.
And it's pretty tacky of him to throw the sign company under the bus. As the "Marketing and Communications" person, it's his job to sign off on the proof for the sign.
Clearly, he passed Dumbassery 101 with flying colors.
