Oregonians largely support striking teachers more than their unions, want schools to ensure students can read by third grade and don't think the Legislature should hold greater authority to intervene in district budgets or teacher bargaining, according to a new survey.
The nonprofit and nonpartisan Oregon Values and Beliefs Center collected survey responses from more than 1,800 adults across the state from Dec. 19 to Jan. 7, several weeks after the Portland teachers strike ended. Oregonians were asked about their attitudes towards the teachers and state and district leaders, as well as their attitudes about schools and legislative authority. Nearly half of respondents live in the Portland metro area.
