What were the New Orleans public schools like before the storm? How effective were they? What kinds of changes were already being put in place? What was driving these changes? Why were there so many changes in superintendents? Were educators “rising above” district-level dysfunction? Where might they be today if the reforms had not been put in place? Just after the storm, how were the decisions made to change to the system?
