Sign misspelled outside of New Jersey school
Bill Ritter has the story.

PATERSON, N.J. -- A sign riddled with spelling errors was seen outside, of all places, a school.



Now a principal in New Jersey is out of a job.



The message was posted outside PS 20 in Paterson with several typos.



Officials blamed a custodian for incorrectly updating the sign.



A school board member says that's no excuse. By coincidence, the school insists, the principal is now gone.



"Really it's unbelievable, I didn't think it was a real picture but based on the comments from the picture we found out that it was and it had been there for over a week, almost two weeks," said Corey Teague, a Paterson School Board member.



The sign has since been taken down.



Principal Antoinette Young is being reassigned, officials say for performance issues, and not because of the sign.
