"Relentless Pursuit" of Perfect Spelling

The woman who sent the following to me is a life long resident of Mt. Lebanon. She wondered how our school district could possibly provide the "Best education possible for each and every student" when the district produces informational flyers with spelling errors and the school board president signs her name to it.

Mrs. Posti,

 

I just finished reading the Budget Update. 

 

Only 2 spelling errors on this one.

 

Funny part is, the first error is in the spelling of the name of the company* you people hired to do the study!  I wonder if "the check writer" will spell their name correctly when payment is made.  The second error is actually in the name of the school** where the School Board meetings take place! 

 

Oh my, will you ever get this right?

 

I am just a mom and grand-mom yet I would never sign my name to any document unless I was sure it was perfect. 

 

Just saying,

 

Concerned mom/grand-mom

You're joking, right?

I know that we don't have spell check for the District website, but now we show the whole South Hills how great we are at spelling.  I wonder how many impressions this sign gets in a day.
