Initiative for New Orleans Educational Reform
The Institute is assisting several organizations including Bright Moments, Children’s Defense Fund, Citizens for a Better New Orleans, Education Foundation, Kirwan Institute, Louisiana Justice Institute, Policy Link, and Urban League of Greater New Orleans to promote educational reform in the City of New Orleans. The purpose of this effort is to convene a comprehensive, citywide process for the people of New Orleans to come together to develop a shared vision for a unified system of excellence and equity for public education in New Orleans. PolicyLink and the Kirwan Institute will assist the partners as they analyze the information and data gathered from these sessions, along with past reports, studies and plans that have been done on the New Orleans school system. This project will begin in January of 2008, more information to be posted soon.
