Dream on, businesses see govt contracts as a license to steal....It doesn't really matter where the money comes from. We're talking maybe $20,000 at most for a LARGE school. That isn't going to break the bank.
I have personally stuck my nose into school business, but was asked to. I have fixed, for free, computers that "need a new mother board". It was a cracked solder joint one time, a loose connection another time....
Some crook was trying to sell a portable sound system to my wife's school, for about $3000, and it was basic home style consumer junk worth about $1500. I built them a system using commercial grade stuff for less, all I had to do was tell Guitar Center it was being paid for by a school, and they offered discounts immediately.
