PPIC Statewide Survey: Californians and Education

Some findings of the current survey:

• Most Californians are very concerned that the state’s budget deficit will mean significant cuts to K-12 education.
• Six in ten adults and likely voters favor Governor Brown’s plan of spending cuts and temporary tax increases to close the deficit and avoid cuts to schools.
• More than half of public school parents say they have noticed reduced numbers of support staff or fewer programs at their child’s school.
