This report is created by Ken Ducote and Rose Drill-Peterson on behalf of the Eastbank Collaborative of Charter Schools 


The Orleans Parish School Board will hold regular monthly Committee Meetings on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, beginning at 1:00 p.m. in Room 4050 of its Timbers III Office Building, 3520 General DeGaulle Drive.
 
Committees typically review and discuss items that will be considered at a subsequent Board Business Meeting.  They also review the progress of the implementation of items which they previously approved. The public's best opportunity to comment on issues before the Board is usually through its Committee Meetings.
 
OPSBrief has summarized the items on the agenda for these meetings. The posted agendas and back-up documentation can be reviewed by clicking on the Committee titles.
