Spell much?

Sometimes we just need to let the Los Angeles Unified School District speak for itself: Officials sent out a statement last night from the superintendent regarding the mayor's selection of a new head of instruction.

First problem: The statement said her name was Angela Bassan. Trouble is, her name's Angela Bass.

Second problem: The statement listed Markham Middle School as Marham Middle School.

Nine minutes later, the district issued a corrected version.

Enough said.
