Closing Remarks

Ensuring that every child has access to a world-class education is the greatest challenge facing today's generation of leaders…and the silver lining of Hurricane Katrina is that New Orleans has responded. Never has a failing urban public school system experienced the near total destruction of resources and responded with such radical change.

Please join us for a community-wide, open forum to hear the story of how we got here, how we are breaking new ground, and how the community can serve as advocates for the children the future - of our great city.

This event is free and open to the public.
