MASON TILLMAN ASSOCIATES CONDUCTS DISPARITY STUDY FOR DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT

Dallas, Texas - Starting June 2001, Mason Tillman Associates, Ltd., will be conducting a disparity study for the Dallas Independent School District (District).  The purpose of the study is to determine whether the District meets the Croson requirements of race and gender-conscious government contracting and procurement through exploring whether the District has been either an active or a passive participant in a discriminatory marketplace.

Rincon & Associates, a local Hispanic owned business, will assist Mason Tillman with collecting data and convening community meetings.  Mason Tillman will also conduct 40 in-depth anecdotal interviews that are reflective of the businesses’ experience in the District’s market area.
