This poll was conducted between December 14-December 16, 2021 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) In December, the public's positive views about the direction of K-12 education across the board increased, growing closer to levels not seen since the Spring of 2021; (2) Nearly three out of four school parents said they felt comfortable with their child returning to school in December -- similar to how they felt in November; and (3) Americans have maintained their mixed views on mandates for masking and vaccinations. Although there is relatively more support for mandatory masking of young children than for requiring vaccinations. This report highlights findings pertaining to: (1) COVID-19 and schooling; (2) school choice policies; (3) views on K-12 education; and (4) the survey profile and demographics.
