The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

One blond teenage girl cried as she tried to explain why the Bridger alternative program http://www.bsd7.org/bridger/ has saved Bozeman kids at risk of dropping out – and why moving them to the main Bozeman High School campus would be devastating.

“I think people just ridicule us over there,” the girl said. “Some kids can be very rude or hurtful because someone has different color hair, or piercings or they’re hungry. They don’t understand there’s more to life than going to prom.

“I wouldn’t be graduating if not for these people,” she said tearfully of Bridger’s staff and students. “I would be hungry if not for these people.”
