The Plight of the Education Systems--Post Hurricane Katrina: An Interview with Dr. Brenda Mitchell and Dr. Linda Stelly
Perry, Theresa
High School Journal, v90 n2 p16-22 Dec 2006-Jan 2007
The changes in the New Orleans public school system are proceeding at break neck speed. There is currently a bill in the Louisiana State Senate which would allow the state to sell, lease, or give New Orleans school buildings to any institution that has operated schools for 25 years. This would be done with a no-bid process. The money would not go to Orleans Parish. There is nothing in place to insure that the buildings, sold or granted at rock-bottom prices, would even continue to be used as schools, nor is there anything preventing private entities from reselling the buildings for monumental profit. In this article, the author interviews Dr. Brenda Mitchell and Dr. Linda Stelly about their opinions and comments about this issue.
