Also, there are capitalization errors throughout, a senior quote is printed across a student’s picture,, the index is reportedly inaccurate. The CEO of the yearbook printer, Grads Photography, issued the following statement: We are truly sorry for the cover that has the wrong year, the school, our company both failed to catch that error. The student that was affected by writing on her image is also an extremely regrettable situation. Regrettable, indeed. Apparently the school is to blame for the grammatical, layout errors. Grads Photography agreed to knock $6,000 off of the cost of printing as compensation. The school has issued an offer to families: They can get a $20 rebate for the yearbook or return it for a full refund. They have until May 30 to take the school up on the offer. Some parents want the yearbook to be completely reprinted. One of them, Norma Quinn, told AZFamily.com, “That's not acceptable. We want a true product. Not a haphazard product.”   (Image via){/%BODYCOPY%} {%ID%}16688{/%ID%} {%DATAID%}19dda308-eaa2-4f41-9106-d70c94dc4977{/%DATAID%} {%CanonicalUrl%}{/%CanonicalUrl%} {%PUBLISHDATE%}5/21/2014 1:46:58 PM{/%PUBLISHDATE%} {%LINK%}https://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/16688.aspx{/%LINK%} {%BYLINE%}
