Locals have eyed him as a potential Orleans Parish superintendent. Perry has chosen, however, instead to found a school of urban education at Davenport University in Michigan.
Perry focuses on the social purposes of education, saying the point is a stronger community, not just higher test scores. His speech Saturday will call on New Orleans private and parochial school parents to come together and create a "unified school district," according to the Rising Tide website.
The conference starts at 9:30 a.m. at Xavier University. Perry's speech is at 2 p.m.
