School Facilities Master Plan Public Hearing

TONIGHT: 5:30 PM Orleans Parish School Board Meeting

McDonough 35 at 1331 Kerelec St.


The public comment period has been extended due to Gustav until October 1st.

BESE and OPSB have planned votes on the master plan a few weeks after that.


Sadly, I will not be attending tonight's meeting because of work. I will, however, soon have an official comment for the record completed shortly.

But everyone that can make it should go. The BESE board is likely to rubber stamp the master plan. The best chance we have to turn back this document or have it drastically modified is to exercise influence over the Orleans Parish School Board.

If you do go, please try to keep a detailed account of what is said by each OPSB member.

Here is my initial post after the release of the master plan.

Here is one on operator bias and the master plan.

Here is my most recent piece from right before evacuation.


UPDATE: My bad guys, I ta-ta-totally forgot to mention that everyone can go 'on the record' with their thoughts on the master plan by emailing them to masterplan@rsdla.net

When you do, might as well make sure to cc some witnesses.
