Former Atlanta schools tech director’s trial delayed
The trial of Atlanta Public Schools’ former technology director has been delayed from its previously planned Dec. 2 start date.
Federal prosecutors claim Jerome Oberlton, who worked as the school system’s chief information officer from 2004 to 2007, used his influence at the school system to award a $780,000 computer project and make money from the deal.
No new trial date has been set.
