New Orleans' Recovery School District Looks to be Almost 100 Percent Charter System

New Orleans' Recovery School District will become a nearly 100 percent charter system in the 2013-2014 academic year, with the district running only five or six schools directly, down from 12 this year, Superintendent Patrick Dobard announced Thursday. Among the changes: three schools will close; three will become charters; one will merge with an existing charter; and three will continue to be phased out grade-by-grade.
