July 28 2026 School Accountability & Charters Committee Meeting

The Orleans Parish School Board Accountability and Charters Committee met on July 28, 2026, to discuss the development and implementation of the District-Run School Accountability Framework (DSAF). The meeting focused on establishing performance metrics and targets for district-run schools, emphasizing continuous improvement and central office support rather than immediate consequences like school closure. Board members expressed concerns about the lack of closure consequences in the DSAF compared to the Charter School Accountability Framework (CSAF), with assurances that policy language addressing persistent underperformance and potential school closure or reimagining would be developed and presented in the coming month. Additionally, the committee reviewed system-wide needs program spending, including school-based grants such as the Everyday Counts grants, highlighting the importance of accountability and reporting on the use and impact of these funds. The superintendent committed to providing detailed reports on fund reallocations and program outcomes in upcoming presentations.
