When the Chicago Public school year starts officially on Tuesday two schools, Martha Ruggles Elementary School and Josiah Pickard, will be receiving extra ipads, laptops, and other technology from kCura. kCura is actually a software litigation company but wanted to get involved in helping CPS schools. That’s led to a quarter of a million dollar investment that will take place over the next three years. kCura’s Dorie Blessoff along with CPS CIO Lachlan Tidmarsh talk about the partnership and how they hope it will bring in other businesses willing to invest in technology for Chicago Public Schools.
