Overview

In August 2016, the School Board commissioned a Business Market Availability and Disparity Study to determine whether there was a compelling interest to establish a narrowly-tailored Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) program. The study found factual predicate evidence to establish remedies to address disparities identified in Architecture and Engineering, Construction, Professional Services, Nonprofessional Services, and Goods and Commodities contracts procured by the District.
