ATLANTA (AP) — A former chief information officer for Atlanta’s public school system accused of accepting bribes in exchange for his influence in awarding a technology contract pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

Jerome Oberlton entered the plea in federal court in Atlanta, where a U.S. grand jury last week handed down a seven-count indictment against him. The charges include conspiracy, conspiracy under color of official right, money laundering conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and bribery.
