Across New Orleans, the future of public school facilities has taken sharp focus.From the modern lines of the new L.B. Landry High School, to the renovation and addition to historic buildings such as the William Frantz School, new school construction projects now dot the city.
The objective is clear—create lasting, high quality facilities for 21st Century educational needs.
The School Facilities Master Plan for Orleans Parish, approved in 2008, guides the ambitious school construction to rebuild infrastructure devastated by Hurricane Katrina. It is a joint effort of the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) and Recovery School District (RSD).
The plan must be updated every two years to accommodate the changing repopulation patterns of the City of New Orleans.
As part of the first biennial review, the RSD and OPSB haver released proposed amendments, and will host a series of public meetings to gather input on recommendations.
