  • Did the New Orleans School Reforms Increase Segregation?
    Objective, rigorous, and useful research to understand the post-Katrina POLICY BRIEF school reforms. EducationResearchAllianceNOLA.org April 4, 2017 DID THE NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL REFORMS INCREASE SEGREGATION? By Lindsay Bell Weixler, Nathan Barrett, and Douglas N. Harris, Tulane University Jennifer Jennings, New York University Overview In this study, we examine the effects of the post-Katrina school reforms on the segregation of students on a wide variety of dimensions: race, income, special education, English Language Learner status, and achievement. Research shows that all students benefit, socially or academically, from more integrated schools, making this an important issue to examine. We draw four main conclusions: • New Orleans schools were highly segregated prior to the city’s school Data Sources reforms, especially in terms of race and income, and remain segregated now. State Data: Anonymous student-level data from 2002-2014 Source: Louisiana Department of Education • We found little evidence that the New Orleans school reforms affected segregation for elementary school students. Most groups of high school National Data: School-level data from 2000-2014 Source: U.S. Department of Education Common Core of Data students that we examined were affected, with some groups seeing an increase in segregation and others a decrease. • There were no consistent trends in racial segregation. Some groups became more segregated, others less so. • Among high school students, segregation has increased for low-income students and English Language Learners, but decreased for special education students as well as by achievement. To our knowledge, ours is the first study to examine the effect of school choice on the segregation of English Language Learners, special education students, and low- and high-achieving students.

  • Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been
    Geographies of New Orleans Fifty Years After Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been Richard Campanella Geographer, Tulane School of Architecture [email protected] Published in the New Orleans Picayune-Advocate, August 12, 2019, page 1. Fifty years ago this summer, reports from Washington D.C. reached New Orleans that John Volpe, secretary of the Department of Transportation under President Richard Nixon, had cancelled the Riverfront Expressway—the high-speed, elevated interstate slated for the French Quarter. The stunning news, about a wildly controversy plan that had divided the community for years, was met with elation by the city’s growing preservationist movement, and head-shaking disappointment by local leaders in both the public and private sectors. A half-century on, the cancellation and the original proposal invite speculation —part mental exercise, part cautionary tale—about what greater New Orleans might look like today had the Riverfront Expressway gone forward. And it very nearly did: conventional wisdom at the time saw the new infrastructure as an inevitable step toward progress, following the lead of many other waterfront cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. But first, a recap on how the New Orleans plan got to Volpe’s desk. Rendering from Robert Moses' Arterial Plan for New Orleans, 1946, page 11, courtesy collection of R. Campanella The initial concept for the Riverfront Expressway emerged from a post-World War II effort among state and city leaders to modernize New Orleans’ antiquated regional transportation system. Toward that end, the state Department of Highways hired the famous—many would say infamous—New York master planner Robert Moses, who along with Andrews & Clark Consulting Engineers, released in 1946 his Arterial Plan for New Orleans.

  • 2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021
    2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021 Overview As one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic destinations for leisure visitors, global meetings and conventions, major cultural festivals and national sporting championships, New Orleans welcomes millions of travelers and countless corporations and organizations each year with revelry and joy. Our cultural authenticity, joie de vivre and the fact that we are organically built to host, result in an unequalled success and travel experience in New Orleans like nowhere else, with every trip and gathering producing a world class memory. New Orleans & Company and its hospitality partners flourish with great relationships with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Superintendent/Chief of Police Shaun Ferguson and his senior team. New Orleans & Company partners with and engages the top leadership of the NOPD on all elements, locations and activities of every gathering and convention so they may be available not only to meet and discuss all of a group’s priorities and requirements, but to ensure coverage around convention venues and all areas where specific events are occurring. NOPD creates a deployment plan designed specifically for the needs of that group. As the world successfully emerges from the pandemic, the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and residents is our number one priority in New Orleans. This fall, New Orleans will host many major conventions and meetings, huge cultural events including French Quarter Festival, Voodoo Festival and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, just to name a few, so we ask visitors to use the same personal safety precautions, and to stay vigilant, as they would at home and in any metropolitan destination.
