A new study shows Ohio parents want to see students receive support inside and outside of the classroom, and they trust teachers to know how to lead their children.

In a study conducted over six months by the Children鈥檚 Defense Fund-Ohio in partnership with Baldwin Wallace University鈥檚 Community Research Institute, more than 1,000 K-12 parents were asked about everything from school nutrition to social-emotional learning, a concept named the 鈥淲hole Child Framework.鈥�

CDF-Ohio said supported recommendations that 鈥渨hole child鈥� approaches to education 鈥� including access to resources such as health care and food assistance, along with housing and transportation help 鈥� should be implemented in Ohio, as more than 430,000 children live in poverty statewide.

鈥淭his means many children in Ohio risk arriving to school without their basic needs met, making it harder for them to learn,鈥� the study stated.

Schools are attempting to extend these services as they can, through behavioral health programs, free meals and community initiatives, hoping to hit basic needs to fight back against educational issues in the state like chronic absenteeism.

Findings in the study showed 46% of parents said their child ate a free lunch at school five days a week, and 87% of parents said those meals should be provided for free, 鈥渞egardless of the student鈥檚 ability to pay.鈥�

Overwhelmingly, parents agreed that school districts and communities should be working together to provide 鈥渆ducational programs that go beyond basic academics and provide customized, relevant support for the whole student.鈥�

In the study, 87% said that customized, relevant support should include 鈥渆vidence-based curriculum and instruction鈥� and 85% said school curriculums and instructional materials should be 鈥渞elevant to the life experiences, cultures and languages of their students.鈥�

This is counter to the ongoing 鈥渃ritical race theory鈥� battle going on in some Ohio schools. In a push by conservative organizations, school districts have been scrutinized for using curriculum that includes racial history. hoping to regulate school curricula and keep teachers from giving lessons that may make students feel 鈥渦ncomfortable鈥� and may contain 鈥�,鈥� such as the 1619 Project鈥檚 history of slavery in America.

Parents in the study held teachers in high regard, with more than 90% saying they trust teachers to 鈥渂e positive role models and teach age-appropriate content.鈥�

鈥淧arents across all demographics expressed confidence in their own ability to be a leader and partner in their child鈥檚 education and reported high trust in their children鈥檚 teachers to model and foster the life skills students need to succeed and thrive,鈥� the study concluded.
