ABSTRACT: Equity is a core value utilized in education to
guide policy development and opportunities for students. While federal and
state policy includes provisions and requirements to address educational
equity, the problem is that inequities continue to exist in education. This
qualitative research addresses educational equity qualitatively by analyzing
one state education agency’s (SEA) equity policy framework. The intent of the
study is to conduct a critical analysis of the SEA’s equity policy framework to
determine whether the policy addresses the equity problem as defined by the
federal Excellent Educators for All (EEA) policy.
