The Coup D'etat of the New Orleans Public Schools explores and
criticizes the contemporary educational reforms of the New Orleans
public school system. The New Orleans education reforms implemented
after Hurricane Katrina, using the corporate model approach, have
been an academic failure with charter operators making millions of
dollars while reestablishing a segregated school system based on
race and class-all in the name of school reform. Despite the claims
of unprecedented academic success the educational reforms have been
a dismal failure academically and operationally, and have
resurrected equity and access issues. Equally as disturbing the
reforms firmly have re-established a tiered public school system
that segregates students by race and class. The Coup D'etat of the
New Orleans Public Schools puts the corporate education reform
movement in its proper context, which is to create a new
twenty-first century model for turning around urban public school
districts in the United States. This book reveals what really
happened pre- and post-Hurricane Katrina that contributed to the
state takeover of public schools in New Orleans. This story is told
through the eyes of parents, students, activists, political
leaders, and Orleans Parish School Board members and employees who
have been largely ignored. It also includes an analysis of the
author's personal experience of almost forty years in New Orleans
public schools as a teacher, principal, and college professor.
