In the 55th annual PDK Poll, a wide majority (66%) of adults say teachers should have a substantial say in what’s taught in public schools, more than say so about school boards, local residents, or lawmakers. In addition, 67% of respondents support increasing local teacher salaries by raising property taxes. More than half of Americans also expressed support for altering school schedules, whether by shifting to a four-day school week or expanding the school day or school year. Poll results also show widespread support for mental health assessments in schools.
