ILLINOIS, INDIANA AND OHIO

The FBI accused the charter network Concept Schools, a charter network with schools across 6 states, and its vendors of engaging in a scheme to defraud a federal program by violating “fair and open competitive bidding rules.” Under the auspices of the federal E-Rate program, schools in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio allegedly contracted with “related entities” without soliciting written bids as required by law. The related entities were companies owned by school executives as well as members of a Turkish religious sect in which the executives were also members.

In June 2014, the FBI raided Concept’s Des Plaines, Ill headquarters and 18 other sites in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, seizing records regarding top Concept officials and the company’s participation in the E-Rate program.

A clout-heavy charter-school firm that operates four taxpayer-funded schools in Chicago is suspected of defrauding the government by funneling more than $5 million in federal grants to insiders and “away from the charter schools,” according to court records obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

No criminal charges have been filed in the ongoing investigation of Des Plaines-based Concept Schools, which has built a network of powerful supporters, including Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago.
According to the newly obtained court documents filed by law-enforcement authorities, the company, its contractors and “many” of its privately run, taxpayer-financed charter schools across the Midwest “engaged in a scheme to defraud a federal program.”
