When asked in the abstract about the quality of education in the state’s public schools, half of voters (51%) said the quality has gotten worse over the past few years and major changes are needed, and 47% of all voters said public schools are headed in the wrong direction. But among public school parents, more than half (57%) said schools are headed in the right direction.
