THEME: Five Years After Katrina: Access To Education What has New Orleans – and indeed, the rest of the United States – learned about education in the wake of Hurricane Katrina? In August of 2005, one of recorded history’s most powerful hurricanes hit New Orleans, and the days that followed included flooding that damaged or destroyed much of the city’s infrastructure and systems. Forced to rebuild – indeed, reimagine – the New Orleans school system, the state instituted dramatic reforms, including school choice, greater accountability, and the creation of charter schools for the majority of students. Five years later, what have we learned? Is the New Orleans school system working, and working better? Is the role of the state appropriate, versus local control? Are these reforms best for all students, or just those in primary or secondary schools? Have these reforms fully accommodated students with special needs and disabilities? And have these reforms created a model for the rest of the country?
