Feds are expanding CPS investigation beyond BBB to corporate Chicago’s biggest names
The Chicago Tribune is reporting this morning that federal investigators are looking into the records of a corporate school reform outfit that includes on its board the names of Chicago’s corporate and banking giants.
Those names include the Governor and his newly appointed state school’s chief, Tony Smith.
The scandal broke late least week with news that the feds were investigating the SUPES $20 million no-bid contract negotiated by Superintendent Barbara Byrd-Bennett and approved by Rahm Emanuel’s hand-picked board of education, chaired by banker David Vitale.
Yesterday, Byrd-Bennett took a leave of absence.
The story of the $20 million no-bid contract with SUPES was originally reported two years ago by Sarah Karp in Catalyst.
