New Orleans’s Recovery School District will close all of its remaining traditional public schools, according to the Washington Post.
Education was one of the major reforms for the city after its recovery from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Benjamin Banneker Elementary closed Wednesday as New Orleans’s Recovery School District permanently shuttered its last five traditional public schools this week.
With the start of the next school year, the Recovery School District will be the first in the country made up completely of public charter schools, a milestone for New Orleans and a grand experiment in urban education for the nation.
