Education is returning to a sense of normalcy, but as education issues remain in the headlines, parents, voters, and students are left dealing with both new and persistent problems. 2024 marks the continuance of education in the headlines and minds of Americans across the nation. As the United States recovers from pandemic learning, graduation rates have stabilized, while reading and math scores continue to decline. Furthermore, classrooms are increasingly politicized. Debates over school choice and Artificial Intelligence consume national media, although parent involvement, book bans, and the teaching of race have become less popular topics. In light of the recent election, it is important to know parents' and voters' stances on education issues and whether they match national conversations. This year, The Hunt Institute presents its third Across the Aisle: Bridging the Education Divide, a report that dives deeper into public perceptions around key educational issues.?The Across the Aisle survey, created in 2020, aims to create a bipartisan understanding of parents' and voters' priorities in education, allowing policymakers to put priorities into policy. The survey, created in collaboration with Lake Research Partners, gathers opinions from parents and voters on various education topics, including career readiness, school safety, extracurricular activities, and parental involvement. The Hunt Institute, with generous support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is proud to present findings from the 2024 nationwide survey of parents and voters, bridging the political divide between important education stakeholders. Parents and Voters have a clear set of Core Values for education. Despite growing concerns over a politically divided country, the 2024 survey found meaningful agreement across demographic groups regarding education proposals.
