State Fair spelling error is causing attendees to realize state education rankings are accurate and we need help.
For those following at home, the sign welcoming visitors is missing an obvious bit of punctuation and a letter.
It is not clear if State Fair officials will remove the offending billboard that Texas ranks #38 against other states in education.

In local education news, Dallas Independent School District is suing the Texas Education Agency over state standards.
Dallas ISD believes state standards are too rigorous and nearly ten percent of campuses would fail.
Dallas ISD has 233 campuses and 145,000 students. On the last state report card roughly ten percent of these received a D or F grade from the state.
In an interview with NBCDFW, Superintendant Stephanie Elizalde said, “I would never have any evaluation of any member of my team based on previous evaluation criteria, and at the end of the period of time that I’m going to evaluate them say I’ve changed my mind I’m going to evaluate you on something else.”
However, Dallas ISD has done this – repeatedly.
Most recently, a principal was suddenly removed from a successful Dallas ISD school with no clear reason or cause.
Additionally, since at least 2020, Dallas ISD students have been shown to be failing at basic math and reading.
