 STRICKEN SCHOOLS PART 4
Rebuilding New Orleans Schools
Hurricane
Katrina damaged over 100 of the 128 New Orleans public schools and
led to a state takeover of the district. Today, the state of Louisiana – which
has never before run schools – is
operating 20 public schools, most of them with long histories of
academic failure.
And the superintendent, Robin Jarvis, must deal with problems usually
outside of education's reach – not enough housing, a rat infestation,
and a student body that spent the past year either out of school
or in another district. In our fourth visit to New Orleans since
Katrina, we check in on the schools that re-opened under state control
in a city that officials still call a "disaster area."
