Gallup Poll on What District Leaders Say About Learning Beyond the School Year
NSLA and AASA cosponsored the new national Superintendent Summer Survey by Gallup to capture a national snapshot of school district leaders’ perspectives, goals, priorities and challenges. It compares their responses with the earlier Gallup survey on this topic taken by parents and caregivers.
Gallup Poll Reveals 30 Million Youth Participated in Summer Opportunities
A new nationally representative poll of parents across US conducted by Gallup in partnership with the National Summer Learning Association NSLA and the American Camp Association (ACA) found that in 2023, 30 million youth were engaged in organized summer opportunities.
Only 10 million out of 25 million (38%) low-income students accessed programs, compared with 50% of middle-income and 67% of upper-income
children.
NSLA and ACA call for a national effort to maintain and increase this baseline, but critical barriers such as cost remain for many families.
