Typo on diplomas embarrasses Ohio principal

[Saguaro]

WESTLAKE, Ohio - A Cleveland-area principal says he's embarrassed his students got proof of their "educaiton" on their high school diplomas.

Westlake High School officials misspelled "education" on the diplomas distributed last weekend. It's been the subject of mockery on local radio.

Principal Timothy Freeman says he sent back the diplomas once to correct another error. When the diplomas came back, no one bothered to check things they thought were right the first time.

The publisher has reprinted the diplomas a second time and sent them to the 330 graduates.

Don't they have spellcheck in Ohio?

Simple enough. My daughter's best friend is a teacher daughter that is currently in the same school as her mom. We were at the honor banquet and the staff that her mother works with, put her daughter on the wrong list!
