 School ordered to return $1M mistakenly given by state
September 25, 2008
Gov. Blagojevich’s administration Wednesday gave operators of a dormant private school 30 days to return $1 million to Illinois taxpayers.
In 2007, Loop Lab School errantly received the state grant money, which the governor had intended be used to rebuild fire-ravaged Pilgrim Baptist Church in Bronzeville. The church had leased space to the school.

After the Chicago Sun-Times first reported on the blunder in March, the governor still had planed to let the school keep the cash. But Wednesday, his administration declared the school violated its grant deal.
The state said the school failed to disclose that its director, Chandra Gill, had a felony conviction even the governor later granted her a pardon; didn’t open classes in a high-rise at 318 W. Adams, as promised, because it didn’t obtain necessary city permits; and didn’t disclose a Human Rights Commission sexual harassment judgment against it, as required.
