An Analysis of abs.sagepub.com Market-Driven New Orleans School Reforms Christian Buerger1,2 and Douglas Harris1,2 Abstract One of the biggest changes in New Orleans after Katrina was observed in the public school system. In this article, we describe the massive overhaul of the public school system in New Orleans post-Katrina and examine the types of problems that this type of decentralized market-oriented system will be most likely to solve as well as those it may struggle with. As examples, we use problems facing New Orleans public schools, namely, student discipline, information sharing with parents, and especially the human capital pipeline, to illustrate the challenges a regulated market system presents. We then present and apply to those cases a general framework for thinking about which of these types of problems a decentralized system will be best able to solve. Keywords public schools, New Orleans, market model, Katrina Introduction Hurricane Katrina was one of the greatest tragedies in American history. With the New Orleans population scattered around the state and nation and the future of the city in doubt, state and local leaders realized that schools would be central to attracting 1Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA 2Education Research Alliance for New Orleans, New Orleans, LA, USA Corresponding Author: Christian Buerger, Education Research Alliance for New Orleans, 1555 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA.
