Show Notes
Parents in New Orleans Ninth Ward are grappling with the closure of Fredrick Douglass High School, which is merging with John F. Kennedy High School in Gentilly. The decision, driven by financial struggles and renovation needs, has left many families feeling blindsided, as Douglass recently received its first A rating. The loss of the school leaves the Ninth Ward without any high schools, exacerbating the communitys lack of options post-Hurricane Katrina. While the historic building will not become apartments, its future as an educational center remains uncertain. A meeting on April eighth aims to provide clearer answers, with the communitys focus on supporting students through this transition.
