Untenable

You know you've got a problem on your hands when understanding your school system's administrative hierarchy requires a massively cumbersome flo-chart. Further explanation is provided in the New Orleans Parents' Guide to Public Schools, a 90 page document which reads:

Who’s running the schools?
Public schools in New Orleans fall into several broad categories based on which school district they are part of (New Orleans Public School district or Recovery School District)and whether they are charter schools. Bellow you will find information about these school districts and types. In most cases, you will need to contact individual schools for information. Contact information for each individual school can be found on pages 20-88.

Got that? Okay well you can always go back to the chart if you have to.

How is it that we were so hot to eliminate the redundant and inefficient waste wrought by seven Orleans Parish tax assessors (in the name of "reform") but have sleepily allowed this bizarre monstrosity to come about (also in the name of "reform")?

Note: This post which is partially about (and in fact tagged) "education" originally carried a misspelled word as its title. The editors of this space find the error (now corrected) regrettable.. but nonetheless quite amusing.
