CHICAGO — Barbara Byrd-Bennett has resigned as chief executive of the Chicago Public Schools amid a federal investigation into a $20.5 million no-bid contract.
**SNIP**
The investigation centers on a $20.5 million no-bid contract at CPS related to an elite nonprofit education group that has long been at the center of city school reform efforts. Federal corruption investigators have also sought records related to some of Byrd-Bennett's top deputies.
Byrd-Bennett, who has not been accused of wrongdoing, acknowledged when she went on leave that her presence could divert attention from the pressing affairs of the district as it tackles labor talks with the city's teachers union and confronts a $1.1 billion budget deficit.
In 2013, according to CPS records, the district approved a "leadership development services" agreement with the Wilmette-based SUPES Academy for up to $20.5 million that extended through June 2016.

They all resign before getting charged. That way they can keep their pensions.
I’m not even going to look, but I’ll bet a, ‘too-big-for-her-britches,’ ‘you owe me, Sucka,’ Affirmative Action appointee?
Zot me if I’m wrong... ;)
She sure isn't Amish.....
I see she’s surrounded herself with all the right little p*ss ants, too! LOL!
This is a fake story. There has NEVER been any corruption in Chicago.
Wait just a darn sec here! The woman’s black and therefore can not be guilty, which means this is CLEARLY a racist action. That’s the only possible explanation. Just ask The Rev, he’ll tell you.
Gotta question the she part as my cataract free eyes see some manliness.

The Chicago Teachers Union says it’s not surprised to hear about the resignation.
Chicago Teachers Union Vice President Jesse Sharkey said Monday that Byrd-Bennett’s departure set what he called a “horrible standard for our students and educators who looked to her leadership.”

I am confused, is she a (D) or an (R)?
Dude, that ain’t no woman. That’s flip Wilson!
