Abstract: This paper examines over 500 charter schools in 13 states to see how state policies foster or hinder EMO-managed charter schools' service to disadvantaged students and how the characteristics of charter schools themselves affect this outcome. The researcher finds that certain policy characteristics (multiple chartering authorities and requiring the transportation of students, etc) are important for encouraging schools to serve low-income and minority students. Being managed by a large-EMO was positively, but not significantly, related to charter school enrollment of low-income and minority students.
