New Orleans-Style Education Reform: A Guide for Cities

March 9, 2012

Public Impact teamed up with New Schools for New Orleans to develop a guide for cities interested in dramatically growing their charter school sectors as part of an effort to turn around persistently low-performing urban school systems. This Guide builds on dozens of interviews with education and community leaders in New Orleans, insights from national experts who have supported the rebuilding efforts, and research and reporting on New Orleans’ education reforms.

The Guide illustrates recommendations with vignettes of work done by bold school leaders and reformers, centered around three key strategies:

  1. strong governance and accountability
  2. building human capital pipelines to fuel the growth of schools
  3. incubating new schools and growing proven schools into networks

The Guide also looks toward long-term sustainability of this new system, exploring topics such as building community demand and support for school reforms, developing a fiscally-balanced system that doesn’t rely long-term on philanthropy, and planning ahead for the new types of challenges that face a decentralized system of schools in areas such as transportation, equitable access, and transparent system oversight.
