Cross-case finding from the nine-state multiple case study. Priority groups included students performing below grade level, students with IEPs, English learners, and students from low-income families, per the report's executive summary and access section.

"Case study states targeted state investments by identifying priority groups either in legislation or in the grant's request for proposals (RFPs). doing so allowed them to either prioritize selected students' access to program seats or prioritize grant funding for providers serving these student groups."
