The Orleans Parish School Board, which oversees the nation's only all-charter school system, signaled that it wants to start running some traditional schools again.
The New Orleans public school system will open a new school in the fall, replacing Lafayette Academy Charter School, which is set to close. The move is a throwback to an earlier era when the district ran its own schools while also overseeing charter schools.
Leila Jacobs Eames, a retired educator, will represent District 1, which covers the Lower 9th Ward and parts of New Orleans East.
