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.

And students didn’t blink an eye reading it, just saying “yup, that’s what it is!”.

These days it may very well have not been a misspelling.

I’m betting nobody noticed. There is so much pubic education in public education that there isn’t much time for basic speling anyome.

embarrassing faux pas but I’ve seen much, much worse. Somewhere on the net I saw a page of similar accidental goofs and typos found in church bulletins and signs and it was hilarious.

There are no depths below which a pubic skool will not go.
