Citing the health risk, a majority of parents say they prefer delaying school reopening despite the personal and economic toll, two new polls find.
The Kaiser Family Foundation poll, released Thursday, focused on school reopening. It polled a diverse sample of 377 parents.About half as many parents, 32%, said it's better to open schools sooner so parents can work and kids can get services, even if there's some risk of infection.
The ParentsTogether poll surveyed more than 1,200 parents about reopening schools and child care needs and found similar results. 19% agreed that"schools should reopen as soon as possible so students don't fall too far behind and can receive the educational support they need." In addition to asking about going back to school, ParentsTogether asked about child care and lost income; 63% of parents said they lost income during the crisis and more than 40% of all parents also said they lost income specifically due to new child care responsibilities when schools and day cares closed.
