The PBS Show NOW…..

had a report last night on Lafayette Academy Charter School. It has opened up this year in the New Orleans area where 60% of the schools that have re-opened are now charter schools. Some of the schools in the area are still to damaged to be opened.

The report looked at what they had to do get the school opened. The school had trouble getting enough textbooks in some subjects.

The full show is online to look at along with another almost 10 minute online exclusive video on third grade student D’Mar and his grandmother.
