School Safety Observations and Perspectives among Parents, Teachers, and the Public. A National Polling Brief
EdChoice
This polling brief describes the observations and views about guns and school safety among school parents, teachers, and the general public. The brief highlights their perspectives about what steps can be taken to ensure children across America have safe schools and classrooms for their learning. This poll was conducted between June 15-June 21, 2022 among a sample of 2,198 Adults and June 15-June 25, 2022 among a sample of 1,000 Teachers. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of Adults based on gender, educational attainment, age, race, and region. The poll found that roughly one out of four adults -- and a similar proportion of school parents -- believe that it is likely gun violence will occur at their local school sometime in the next school year. Teachers tend to be much more supportive of policies that have been proposed to reduce school shootings. While parents are much more likely than the general public to support their school district allowing teachers/administrators to carry a firearm/gun in school, only one out of five teachers indicate they would carry a gun in school if allowed. This brief highlights: (1) school safety climate; (2) opinions on school safety policies; and (3) the survey profile.
