ENROLLMENT POLICIES IN SCHOOLS: SNAPSHOT OF LEGAL COMPLIANCE SPLC & VAYLA jointly investigated enrollment & registration requirements of every New Orleans public school for compliance with federal law.

We looked for two red flags:

1. Did the school request a student’s Social Security number

without any stated exception or qualifier?

2. Did the school request a parent’s driver’s license or state ID

without allowing for alternate forms of photo ID?

If either or both conditions appeared on enrollment paperwork, we

considered it problematic with regard to federal civil rights law.

Total public schools in New Orleans: 83

The figures have been rounded to equal 100%.
