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.
