Q21. Thinking about school districts, which of the following comes closest to your opinion?
| LV | GOP | Delta % | |
| Total | 800 | 356 | 444 |
| Having more, smaller school districts allows for more localized decision making, specific to the communities they affect. It also allows school districts to be more responsive to parents, reflect local priorities, and tailor programs to fit the distinct cultural, economic, and educational needs of their students. | 47% | 48% | -1% |
| Having fewer, larger school districts reduces administrative costs and duplication of services, saving taxpayer money that can be redirected to classrooms. It also promotes consistency in curriculum, better teacher pay, and resource distribution, helping reduce inequities between wealthier and less affluent communities. | 32% | 28% | 4% |
