Blackboard Inc. thanks MCPS for 1st Quarter Profits

There is no mention of Blackboard, Inc. in Board of Education minutes for 2010. Maybe this is Blackboard, Inc. thanking MCPS for the $349,300 "no bid" purchase in September 2009, or is this another larger purchase? 

It is interesting, Superintendent Weast called the $349,300 purchase an "extension" but in this press release Blackboard, Inc. is announcing "new and expanding client relationships". What procurement is Blackboard, Inc. announcing?
