Held back a year

This is weird. But so is everything to do with public ed in New Orleans.

The New Beginnings charter board made history Monday night, quickly reconsidered the action, and then worked to undo it and delay a decision on transferring one of its four charter schools back to Orleans Parish School Board oversight.

Had its original 3-2 vote carried, the board would have been the first to move a school from the Recovery School District to the School Board. The day-to-day operations and overall authority to run Lake Are New Tech Early College High School would have remained with the New Beginnings Schools Foundation and its board, but general oversight would have shifted to the school board.
