The Public, Parents, and K-12 Education: A National Polling Report [March 2022]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between March 15-March 19, 2022 among a sample of 2,200 adults. 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. Among the key findings are: (1) Roughly one of six Americans reported a protest or major disruption at their local school board meeting this school year. Most appear associated with COVID-19-related topics such as masking, vaccines, or other pandemic policies; (2) Despite a decrease in March, education issues still rank higher when it comes to voting for local offices. Most Americans continue to view economic issues as their top priority when deciding who to vote for at the federal, state, or local levels; (3) Four out of five school parents believed that schools should provide multiple learning options for students this school year - reflecting a 10-point increase since the previous month; and (4) All school choice policies continue to see a lift in support when people are given a description. This report highlights: (1) COVID-19 and schooling; (2) school choice policies; (3) views on K-12 education; and (4) the survey profile and demographics.
