Why Did Jack Smith Only Tell Board of Ed. Force Multiplier Had a Name Change? #FBI #ArrestofCEO #CompanyShutDown #NoContract

In June of this year, Superintendent Jack R. Smith submitted a memorandum concerning the school bus camera system to the Board of Education.

In that memorandum, Superintendent Smith said that the Board of Education had a contract with Bus Patrol America (BPA) (formerly Force Multiplier Solutions).  Superintendent Smith made it sound as if the company had changed names.  

June 2018 Memorandum from Superitnendent Jack R. Smith

But in the WTOP report on Monday on the arrest of the Force Multiplier Solutions CEO, the president of Bus Patrol America made it crystal clear that this was not just a name change, but a totally new company with no connection to the previous company.
...David Poirier, who previously worked for Force Multiplier Solutions and is now president of Bus Patrol America, said BPA is not just a name change, but a totally new company.
“It’s a brand-new company and has no connection with any of the previous ownership of Force Multiplier Solutions,” Poirier said...
That means that the Board of Education does not have a contract with the new company.  The Board had a contract with Force Multiplier Solutions and that company no longer exists.

Why didn't Superintendent Smith tell the Board of Education that the previous contract was no longer valid and that a new contract was needed with the new company?

Why is Superintendent Smith hiding the fact that the no bid bus camera scheme went up in smoke?
Shouldn't the Board of Education, the County Council, the County Executive and the public be told the truth?
Shouldn't the Board of Education be evaluating and voting on a new contract?
