This is an interesting report (29 page PDF) worth a read even if the set of recommendations perhaps overstates the evidence in support of them. Here "dual enrollment... refers to college courses offered to high school students, often for both high school and college credit." The report was based on "11 remote interviews with 19 state and local stakeholders" and also references some earlier studies  (which is why I would consider the evidence somewhat limited). From this eight pages of recommendations are derived. Some make sense (for example: the college should lead by adopting OER in the first place), some are unsurprising (for example: a preference for recommendations rather than mandates), and some are troublesome (for example, to bundle resources rather than simply offering links). The appendices (four case studies, and links to state policies) are particularly useful.
