Poll Finds Strong Support for Public Schools
A new poll by the National School Boards Action Center found that 64% of respondents think public schools funding should be increased; and of those, eight out of 10 would support an increase in funding even if it meant they would pay more in taxes. Another 73% agree with the statement we should NOT take away public funds from our public schools to fund private, religious, and home school education, and 64% of voters are much less likely to vote for an elected official who supports doing so.
