Two months after Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana took control of
nearly all the public schools in New Orleans. Today, all of the
city's public schools are charter schools. Although many analyses
mark the beginning of education reform in New Orleans with Katrina,
in Public Schools, Private Governance, J. Celeste Layargues that
the storm merely accelerated the timeline for reforms that had
inched along incrementally over the previous decade. Both before
and after Katrina, white reformers purposely excluded Black
educators, community members, and parents. Public Schools, Private
Governance traces the slow, deliberate dismantling of New Orleans'
public schools, and the processes that have maintained the reforms
made in Katrina's immediate aftermath, showing how Black parents
and residents were left without a voice and the officials charged
with school governance, most of whom are white, with little
accountability. Lay cogently explains how political minorities
disrupted systems to create change and keep reforms in place, and
the predictable political effects-exclusion, frustration, and
resignation-on the part of those most directly affected.
