Abstract	When Black and Latino students are given advanced opportunities, they thrive alongside their peers. However, only a fraction of eligible students is enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses, which means that most Black and Latino students are being denied vital learning opportunities that can set them up for success in college and careers. In a report by Education Trust and Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS) found that only a fraction of eligible students is enrolled in AP Biology. Local school boards, district leaders, and school leaders have the power to implement policies and practices that can enable or inhibit access to advanced coursework for Black and Latino students, which is essential for increasing the number of people of color in STEM careers. This document has five key questions that students, families, community members, and advocates can ask their district and school leaders to make sure they are creating equitable opportunities for Black and Latino students to engage and succeed in advanced STEM coursework. [For the report, "Shut Out: Why Black and Latino Students Are Under-Enrolled in AP STEM Courses," see ED622840.] (ERIC).
