In 2007, the U.S. Department of Education commissioned WestEd to develop a guide on using quality authorizing to promote high-quality charter schools. At the time, notions about how authorizers could contribute to the existence of such schools were in their infancy, and the publication, which profiles the oversight practices of eight selected authorizers, was intended to advance the conversation. Although 10 years later the importance of quality authorizing practices is widely accepted, it is essential to continue the general conversation about charter school quality -- especially as it relates to ensuring quality programming for the most disadvantaged and at-risk student populations. But it is also time to broaden that ongoing discussion to include the question of "equitable" access: What are some ways to better ensure that, when high-performing charter schools are present, all students have access to them? That is the topic of this policy brief. This brief highlights the role that state- and district-level policymakers can play in supporting charter school access for all students. The brief is intended primarily for policymakers in the education agencies with which the Mid-Atlantic Comprehensive Center (MACC@WestEd) partners to improve education for all students. Policymakers and practitioners elsewhere may also benefit from the brief's literature review and policy discussion.
