The National Alliance analyzed findings from a Harris Poll-commissioned survey of 5,000+ parents to gain insights into how parents feel about K-12 education, whether, why and when they have made any changes in how their school-aged children are educated, how their views have changed over the prior two years, and the likelihood of their voting decisions being influenced by views on education. This report impacted policy and advocacy campaigns by providing the field with comprehensive and unassailable data on opinions and concerns of parents regarding their children's education, shedding light on crucial issues that had long been overlooked. Just in time for the mid-term elections, the true magnitude of parental concerns about education and its likely impact on voting behavior was illuminated. The survey uncovered a myriad of valuable insights, ranging from concerns about safety in schools to the demand for more public charter schools. As the report gained traction, advocacy groups seized the opportunity to align their efforts with the newfound understanding of parental needs and desires. Armed with statistical evidence, these groups found a stronger basis for their campaigns, making compelling cases for policy changes and resource allocations in education. Never Going Back is different from other resources in three ways: 1) The research was by a renowned research institute, The Harris Poll, which was able to provide a powerful and data-driven platform for parents' voices to be heard. 2) It was important to the National Alliance and The Harris Poll that the sample size of parent voices was large enough to include all perspectives. 3) Furthermore, the report's findings facilitated open dialogues between stakeholders, allowing policymakers to comprehend the community's pressing demands. As a result, policy discussions became more inclusive, centered around the genuine needs of students and parents alike.
