Chronicles the first official year of public school in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The centerpiece is the charter school movement’s effort to radically transform education for the city’s mostly African-American public school children, many of whom would still be attending some of the worst performing schools in the nation. In post-Katrina New Orleans, principals and teachers are now readjusting to a wholly new educational model; likewise, families and communities are responding to the new responsibilities that come with finding their voices in the ways their children are educated. During this crucial period, one question remains - How will parents, students and educators use their new-found power? |
