Legislators Surveyed on Vouchers and Charter Schools

In what researchers believe is a first of a kind survey in more than 15 years, the group EdChoice has surveyed 344 state legislators across the nation to gauge their knowledge and views on educational policy.

Some of the findings are interesting when compared to the views of the public on the same subjects.  For example, the new Surveying State Legislators study finds that a small majority 52 percent of state legislators support school vouchers.  Yet, the national average among the public finds much stronger 61 percent support for school vouchers.
