Outcomes of the State Takeover of New Orleans Schools
Outcomes of the State Takeover of New Orleans Schools
By: Dr. Barbara Ferguson
In 2005 the Louisiana education board took over 107 of New Orleans's 120 schools due to performance scores below the state average. Most of the schools were converted to charter schools.
Although this takeover was perceived by the public to be a great success, Dr. Barbara Ferguson, a product of the New Orleans public school system herself, looks at the inequalities that resulted from the takeover. While public schools were required to educate all at-risk youth, the charter schools were able to expel or remove many of them, denying opportunities to many young people.
Dr. Ferguson provides recommendations for how to move forward by keeping what works and focusing on implementing policies based upon sound research on how students learn.
