These polls have served to provide insight on how parents and the general public feel about the highly decentralized K-12 public education system in New Orleans. Over time, we have monitored views on a wide range of topics, including school quality, governance, and the prevalence of charter schools in the city. Additionally, each poll has included questions specific and relevant to the particular year in which it was conducted.  \nGiven the ongoing tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s poll includes questions on how the pandemic has impacted New Orleans families and their ability to access education, including their experiences with:  \n• Remote and virtual learning  \n• Returning to in-person learning  \n• The response of our local school district, New Orleans Public Schools (NOLA-PS), and individual schools to the crisis  \n• The physical and mental health impacts of the virus  \nTo capture the experiences and attitudes of a wide range of parents, we polled 1,000 public and private school parents and guardians in Orleans Parish, as well as those who home school their children. Public school parents and guardians made up the majority (78%) of our sample.  \nWe hope this year’s poll provides insight into the educational experiences of New Orleans families during this unprecedented time. Prior to reading the report, it’s important to consider the following contextual features of New Orleans’ public education ecosystem:  \n• In the 2020-2021 school year, there are 83 total public schools in Orleans Parish: 76 of these are overseen by the NOLA-PS, 6 by the Louisiana State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), and 1 by the State Legislature.  \n• As of October 2019, there were 49,574 K-12 students enrolled in public schools in New Orleans.  \n• The city’s school system has no pre-determined enrollment based on where students live. Students and families apply to schools through a common enrollment system called OneApp and are then matched to a school based on an algorithm that factors in their preferences.  \n• The city’s schools1 serve primarily students of color (90%) and/or students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (83%) . The majority of public school students are Black (76%) .  \n• As we pointed out in our 2019 State of Public Education in New Orleans report, enrollment in New Orleans public schools remains largely segregated along racial and socioeconomic lines. The relatively small percentage of White students in New Orleans public schools is largely concentrated in A and B schools and selective admissions schools (75% of White students attend an A or B school) . Meanwhile, fewer than 5% of White students attend a D or F school. Conversely, almost half of Black and Latin/o/a/x students (45% and 46%, respectively) attend C schools, while another 30% of Black students and 20% of Latin/o/a/x students attend D/F schools. Less than a quarter (24%) of Black students and one-third (33%) of Latin/o/a/x students attend A/B schools.  \n• In fall of 2020, public school students were given the option of returning to in-person learning or continuing with virtual learning. Students who opted to return to in-person learning did so in a phased approach, in which younger students returned earlier than older students. According to NOLA-PS, roughly 60% of students opted to return to in-person school and 40% opted to remain with virtual learning.  \n• Schools and NOLA-PS provided families with resources during the COVID pandemic. NOLA-PS distributed more than 10,000 computers and 8,000 hotspots, and individual schools distributed thousands more. Schools also distributed more than one million free meals to students during the spring and summer.  \nAs in previous years, this report includes the overa","cbCail3u6Hjan5ub","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail3u6Hjan5ub","pdf",515443,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology\n## Survey administration and sampling\n# Findings\n## Overall results and subgroup analyses\n# Context for the 2020-2021 school year","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the 2020 poll?\",\"answer\":\"It measures how the COVID-19 pandemic affected New Orleans families’ ability to access education and captures perceptions of public education within the city’s decentralized K-12 system.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the survey conducted and who was included?\",\"answer\":\"The poll surveyed 1,000 adults in Orleans Parish by landline and cell phone, targeting parents/guardians/responsible parties for children attending K-12 schools or being home schooled.\"},{\"question\":\"Which aspects of the pandemic does the report address?\",\"answer\":\"It covers remote and virtual learning, returning to in-person learning, responses from New Orleans Public Schools and individual schools, and the physical and mental health impacts of the virus.\"}]","Responding To A Pandemic - Poll of Parents and Guardians on Public Education in New Orleans - December 2020 | PDF",1792047926,43]
