Paul Vallas was the first to privatize transportation management in CPS in 1996. He awarded a no-bid contract to his father-in-law's friend.
An OIG investigation showed this deal cost the district an additional $11 million, despite a decline in bus ridership.
When you close schools. When you privatize schools. See: Paul Vallas.
