NOLA Public Schools, in collaboration with community partners, recently launched a web-based resource guide designed to assist students with disabilities transitioning into life after their high school careers. The resource guide is a virtual substitute for NOLA-PS’ third annual NOLA-PS Transition Resource Fair, which had to be canceled this year due to the COVID-19 public health crisis
.

As our community of schools grows and changes, NOLA Public Schools is committed to adapting in ways that best support our students. In this spirit, we will be updating the funding formula for schools, known as the District Level Funding Allocation (DFLA), to reflect the latest student demographics and educational needs ahead of the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years. This is a regular process that can occur every two years and must be approved by the Orleans Parish School Board. We will provide several opportunities for public engagement, and we welcome suggestions, comments and questions from our community throughout this process. Please revisit nolapublicschools.com in the future for more information.
