CI = confidence interval; Coef., coefficient.

The coefficients represent the change in district policy scores within the given domain associated with a 1‐point increase in the percentage of items addressed in the state laws.

Adjusted for characteristics noted in Table 1 (majority race/ethnicity of district students, free/reduced‐price lunch eligibility tertiles, urbanicity/locale, district size, and Census region). Adjusted models include 355 districts because free/reduced‐price lunch data were missing for 13 districts. Items in bold represent statistically significant associations between state laws and district policies at the p < .05 threshold or lower.
