Key Points

Question  What do parents plan to do about school attendance in the fall of 2020, and what factors are influencing these plans?

Findings  In this survey study of 730 US parents of school-aged children, 31% of parents indicated they will probably or definitely keep their child home this fall if schools open for in-person instruction. Factors associated with planning to keep children home were lower household income, not being employed, and whether those employed had a flexible and controllable work schedule.

Meaning  Outreach to help families make decisions about school attendance should focus on addressing the concerns of families with low income.
