School Reopening and the 2020 Presidential Election

Strategic Insights -

During the COVID-19 pandemic, families and schools have struggled with the challenges of schooling and the potential lasting impact on childhood learning. Despite this, the issue of school reopening has not been a dominant theme in the 2020 presidential campaign, with both President Trump and Joe Biden focusing on other issues such as the economy and the public health crisis. When schools reopen, they must be safe, and the country's future educators, lawyers, and doctors must be properly prepared during this time, but both candidates have been criticized for not doing enough to address the issue.

Key Takeaways:

  • A recent poll found that schools and education was the second most important issue for likely voters, after the economy and jobs.

  • A recent survey found that 93% of teachers' union members said the school reopening plan was not clear or helpful.
