Computer firm sues over canceled contract with Chicago schools
June 27, 2007
Company says deal was terminated when it wouldn't hire brother of district official.
Officials from a Chicago-based computer company have sued Chicago Public Schools, alleging that a $30 million contract it had with the school system was rescinded after it failed to hire the brother of a school district official. The company received a three-year, $30 million contract in 2005 to provide computer services to 135 schools, but it was terminated in February 2006.
