MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin-based school software provider filed notice with the state Friday that it intends to appeal after it lost a $15 million contract that was awarded to a Minnesota company, arguing that the process was flawed even though an independent reviewer found no problems.

Skyward Inc., of Stevens Point, said in a statement that it had filed the protest with Gov. Scott Walker’s administration, saying its bid was lower than that of the winner announced last week — Infinite Campus of Blaine, Minn. Skyward has threatened to leave Wisconsin if it loses the contract.
