- Authors
KIMMETT, COLLEEN
- Abstract
The article focuses on the Recovery School District (RSD), the first U.S. all-charter district in New Orleans, Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It mentions the strategy of Louisiana to overhaul the city's failing public schools and put them on the open market with charter experiments. It reveals that other cities and schools are watching New Orleans' RSD outcomes based on national test scores, academic achievements, and graduation rate.
