Our school system has half the number of students it had prior to the storm, but it would be foolish to fail to rebuild quality schools in advance of the demand. The implementation of the hybrid system of State supervised Charter and local supervised District schools are underway. The historical problems are well known, and the tolerance for low standards must be removed. The State must do all it can to raise the ability of children to get a quality education. Studies show that this absolutely reduces crime and poverty in our community and promotes economic development. I believe that the return of families, old and new, to New Orleans will be consistent and steady. Quality educational options, for gifted, talented, average, and special needs students are essential. As a State Representative, I will promote legislation that encourages the building of Educational Facilities now, both to respond to our immediate needs and in anticipation of the growth of families in New Orleans.
