Methodology

Ø Magellan Strategies is pleased to present the results of a 731n of live

telephone and online interviews of registered voters in the state of Colorado.

Ø The online interviews were conducted from April 22nd – May 1st, 2019.

The telephone interviews were conducted from May 8th – 9th, 2019.

Ø The overall survey has a margin of error of +/- 3.54% at the 95%

confidence interval. Subgroups of voters will have higher margin of error than the overall population.

Ø Some questions were only asked through the online survey. Ø The survey results were weighted based upon voter registration

demographics in Colorado.

Ø David Flaherty was the principal researcher on this project. Courtney

Sievers was the project director.

KEY FINDINGS

6

Key Findings:

Ø When asked about the importance of public education to

them personally, 75% of voters answered that it is either very important (38%) or extremely important (37%). Clearly public education is a significant issue for Colorado voters, whether they have a child in the public school system or not.

Ø Colorado voters are split on the proper role of the federal

government in our public education system, as 35% believe the federal government should be less involved while 34% believe that federal government should be more involved.

Ø A plurality of Colorado voters, 30% believe the most important

characteristic for a public school is having strong academic standards, followed by fostering a positive learning environment (19%), hiring quality teachers (17%), and ensuring school safety and security (17%).

7

Colorado Education Issues Survey, 731n, +/-3.54 MoE, May 2019

Key Findings:

Ø Fifty-eight percent of voters have a favorable opinion of public

schools in Colorado. The most common reasons given are a positive personal experience with public schools and quality teachers. The most common reasons given for why voters have an unfavorable

• pinion of public schools are: a negative personal experience with

public schools, lack of funding to the classroom, a negative learning environment for students, a perceived political agenda in the schools, and low standards resulting in students unprepared for life after school.

Ø Forty-three percent of voters have a favorable opinion of charter

schools in Colorado. The most common reasons given are: a positive personal experience with charter schools, higher standards, and a more positive learning environment for students. The most common reasons given for why voters have an unfavorable opinion of charter schools are the perception that they remove resources from public schools and are lacking accountability and diversity.

Ø When asked if they approve or disapprove of the job their local

public schools are doing educating and preparing students for the future, 59% approve and 32% disapprove.

8

Colorado Education Issues Survey, 731n, +/-3.54 MoE, May 2019

Key Findings:

Ø To measure voters’ perception of school choice in Colorado, the

survey asked if parents in Colorado already have the freedom to choose which school their child attends, or if more needs to be done in order to give parents that freedom. The survey found that 47% believe that parents already have school choice, while 40% believe that more needs to be done.

Ø Regardless whether they are a parent or not, voters were asked

which type of school they would choose to provide their child the best education possible. Public school was the top choice at 41%, though the combination of those who chose a private school (28%)

• r charter school (16%) was slightly higher at 44%. This is significant

because there is evidence in the verbatim responses that voters conflate private schools and charter schools. They essentially view them together as distinct from a traditional public school. Home school was the choice for 9% of respondents.

Ø Voters overwhelmingly believe that students in local school districts

are spending too much time preparing for and taking standardized tests, with 67% of voters agreeing with that statement and only 19% disagreeing.

9

Colorado Education Issues Survey, 731n, +/-3.54 MoE, May 2019

Key Findings:

Ø When asked about funding for public schools in Colorado, 67% of

voters think that public schools are underfunded while 20% do not.

Ø Half of all voters disagree with the statement that school districts in

Colorado effectively manage their financial resources and spend taxpayer money wisely, compared to 36% who agree.

Ø Sixty-one percent of voters support state-funded, full-day

kindergarten, regardless of the cost to Colorado taxpayers, including 36% who strongly support the policy.

Ø Nearly 3 out of 4 voters believe that public school teachers are

underpaid in Colorado. The most common reasons given for why voters think public school teachers are underpaid were: the demands/stress of the job, the importance of the job for our future, and teachers struggling to make ends meet because of the cost of living or other expenses. The most common reasons given for why voters do not think public school teachers are underpaid were: they do not work year-round, they have favorable pensions/benefits, and they knew the pay when they entered the profession.

Colorado Education Issues Survey, 731n, +/-3.54 MoE, May 2019

Key Findings:

Ø While only 11% of voters believe that public schools are very

safe for students, a large majority of 71% thinks that schools are somewhat safe. It is important to note that these interviews were conducted before the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch.

Ø In another broad measurement of voter satisfaction with the

public education system, respondents were asked if they agree that the public education system in Colorado is setting up students for successful in the future. A majority of 63% agreed with that statement, while only 26% disagreed.

Ø Voters were asked their impression of how important a college

education is today, with an option of very important, somewhat important or not important at all. There was an even split in the responses between somewhat important (45%) and very important (43%).

Colorado Education Issues Survey, 731n, +/-3.54 MoE, May 2019

Key Findings:

Ø There was significant agreement across all voter subgroups on

the issue of vocational training. When asked whether they agree that Colorado public high schools should do more to focus on vocational training, an overwhelming majority of 83%

• f respondents agreed.

Ø After a brief informative statement on the issue of school

vouchers, voters were asked whether they support or oppose a school voucher program. Half of all voters support a school voucher program after the explanation that a school voucher program allows parents to allocate public funding towards their child’s education at a private school of their choice, including religiously affiliated private schools.
