Summary

View the complete results for this topic.

Respondents were asked to consider the issue of whether high school campuses should be open or closed. With their initial opinion measured, they were then told of the estimated cost of closing campuses, $1.5 million, and asked their opinion again.

The results are as follows:

Open or Closed Campus?

There is support for closed campus, but when the money element is introduced, the result becomes split down the middle.

As we saw in the voter survey, respondents with ASD children show significantly more support for open-campus:

	None	One or more
OPEN OR CLOSED?
Open	37.6%	45.2%
Closed	58.8%	52.3%
Not sure	3.6%	2.5%
KNOWING COST, OPEN OR CLOSED?
Open	46.5%	53.9%
Closed	49.9%	43.3%
Not sure	3.6%	2.7%

With gender too, we see an interesting difference, with men more likely to support open-campus, and women more likely to support closed-campus:

	Men	Women
OPEN OR CLOSED?
Open	44.5%	37.3%
Closed	53.2%	58.8%
Not sure	2.3%	3.9%
KNOWING COST, OPEN OR CLOSED?
Open	55.0%	44.5%
Closed	43.6%	50.5%
Not sure	1.4%	5.0%
