Abstract	In this study, the authors draw on 58 interviews with state policy makers and experts in five states to examine how state policy makers and education leaders think about school choice policy and how issues of equity show up in state-level discourse and action. The findings from these interviews suggest that more could be done to advance equity in school choice policy: (1) state policies have not consistently advanced access to schools of choice for historically marginalized students; (2) state policies have not consistently enhanced the supply of high-quality schools of choice; and (3) a small number of state policies did focus on improving school choice equity and access for historically marginalized and underserved student populations, although more research is needed to understand their implementation and impact. In addition to describing how state policymakers consider and act on improving equity in school choice, this brief offers examples where states have pursued equity and provides options for policymakers to consider.
