EXHIBIT 99.1
FAIRFAX, VA - June 8, 1998 - Computer Learning Centers, Inc. (Nasdaq National
Market: CLCX) ("CLC") today announced that it had reached agreement with the
Attorney General of Illinois settling the litigation filed on March 10, 1998.
In a consent decree approved this morning by Illinois Circuit Judge Thomas A.
Hett, CLC, while denying any liability or violation of law, agreed to enhance
various aspects of its procedures. CLC also agreed to create an Ombudsman
program to provide for the prompt investigation and impartial resolution of
student complaints.
CLC has also agreed to establish a four-year program to annually provide
computer hardware and software worth $95,000 to schools, programs, community
sites, and other non-profit or public institutions in the Chicago area and
$10,000 worth of training in computer skills at CLC's Chicago and Schaumburg
schools for teachers and other community-based personnel to enable them to
make the most effective use of the computer equipment. CLC also agreed to
make a voluntary contribution of $90,000 to the Attorney General's consumer
education fund.
"This settlement avoids costly and protracted litigation that would
inevitably distract us from our primary goal of providing the highest
qualify education to our students," Reid Bechtle, CLC President and CEO, said
in announcing the settlement. "While we remain convinced that CLC has always
acted within the requirements of Illinois law and in the best interests of
our students," Bechtle added, "we believe that the procedures we have agreed
to put in place will enhance our schools' performance and provide a more
efficient way to resolve the student concerns that are an inevitable part of
any educational institution."
