New poll question: Do you support mask requirements in schools?

A new Polco question about whether readers support mask requirements in schools is now available for WNA members. As students and teachers across the state return for the fall semester, we are asking the question in light of recommendations that masks be required in schools this fall.

Poll questions are available through a WNA partnership with Polco aimed at helping newspapers better engage readers and access enhanced data and insights. WNA members who have signed up for an account with Polco can access their local version of the new question, as well as local poll results, on their dashboards. Those who have not signed up can do so here.

Meanwhile, homeschool and virtual charter school enrollment rose substantially.

Delta variant poll results suggest concern among readers

Polco users and readers visiting WNA member websites from July 28 to Aug. 10 were asked how concerned they were about the Delta variant of COVID-19. We asked this question in light of a surge in new COVID-19 cases fueled by the variant that prompted new CDC mask-wearing guidance.
