Sunrise Elementary School changed it's name to Sunrise-McMillan during the 2003-2004 school year. But, someone accidentally added an "i" (MicMillian) and it was never noticed.
A relative of the teacher the school was named for came forward and told them of the error.
Fort Worth ISD is exhausting all resources to correct the mistake with as little cost as possible.
Kinda bad that it takes 9 years for someone to notice this. :banghead: I would of thought the teacher's relatives would of seen at least some of the signs/stationary/Facebook page and complained.

Everything had the incorrect spelling of "Sunrise-McMillian" instead of "Sunrise-McMillan," including the lettering on the building, printed signs, vinyl congratulatory signs, logos and Facebook.

When visiting her class, teacher Jouet Dotson came up with a quick brainstorm on how to teach the new, correct spelling.
"You know how we say there's no 'i' in team?" teacher Jouet Dotson brainstormed. "We could say, 'Well, [at] Sunrise-McMillan, we're a team, so there is no 'i' in the last part of McMillan.'"
