Supporting A Vision for Quality Education in New Orleans

It's up to all of us- parents, educators, community members, elected officials, and school leaders- to make the promise of a great school for every child a reality. By signing this petition, I stand for city-wide collaboration with United Teachers of New Orleans in support for great schools for great students.

Why is this important?

Post-Katrina, schools in New Orleans are disconnected and our city does not have a shared vision for quality schools for all children. We believe children learn to their fullest potential when we are uniting to ensure that all students receive a quality education. Public input from all New Orleans stakeholders in decision-making is essential to the success of our students and our schools. Let’s unite under a shared quality school vision to equip all students for a successful future.
