The other South Carolina school who were "contracted" with GY (and thus prohibited from hiring locally) wound up getting photos made by the local guys anyway, because one of their photographers was next door and realized they had been left high and dry. So that local company has earned the business.
Regarding GY contracts - be a bit cautious about assuming you can just hire someone else at will. GY typically has a auto-renewing contract that renews in the spring, well before bid day, when no one is thinking about September. The same is true for Composite work. I've been told that in our state, those contracts are perfectly legal and valid, which could be frustrating if we wanted to "buy local."
