NEW ORLEANS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

'New Orleans Public Schools' is a public school district that serves all of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The school district is governed by the Orleans Parish School Board.
''NOPS'' was the New Orleans area's largest school district before Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in August 2005, damaging or destroying more than 100 of the district's 128 school buildings. NOPS served approximately 65,000 students pre-Katrina.
As a result of legislation passed by the state in November 2005, 102 of the city's worst-performing public schools were transferred to the Recovery School District (RSD), which is operated by the Louisiana Department of Education and headed by Louisiana Department of Education staff member, Robin Jarvis. The Recovery School District was created 2003 to allow the state to take over failing schools, those that fell into a certain "worst-performing" metric. Five public schools in New Orleans were transferred to the RSD prior to Katrina.
Twenty five public schools, serving approximately 12,000 students, reopened in post-Katrina New Orleans during the 2005-2006 school year.
