A strong community begins with the involvement and participation of everyone.
Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) is the 33rd largest urban school district in the
United States and the largest district in Wisconsin. As a major employer and
purchaser of goods and services in our community, MPS is obligated to display
the excellence, diversity and economic responsibility reflective of its educational
mission. We understand the reciprocal impact of economics and education on
our city and are committed to contributing to make metropolitan Milwaukee a
great place to live and work. Contract provisions that require participation of MPS
students as well as targeted firms and individuals from the communities we serve
are one sure way to accomplish these objectives. Contract Compliance Services targets these
goals through the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Program, the Communities in Need
(COIN) Initiative and the Student Engagement Program. For online bid and RFP information, go to
www.milwaukee.k12.wi.us and click on the “vendor” tab.
