MESD intends to increase diversity, equity and inclusion for all stakeholders. This includes the students we serve, the staff we hire and also the community at large. One way that MESD is striving to increase fiscal diversity in our community is by intentionally including diverse businesses including Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses (MWESB) in our procurement and contracting practices. This aspirational goal is captured in Board Policy DJCB, MESD Policy on Increasing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Contracting, Procurement, and Funding.
