About

NSNO

Our mission is to deliver on the promise of excellent public schools for every child in New Orleans. We believe our city is stronger when our students get an education that prepares them for the future they want, when our families have the power to decide the best paths for their children, and when our educators have what they need to ensure every child is safe, seen, and supported.

Our work facilitates this–we strive to ensure that our students, families, educators, and schools are truly able to thrive.

Our team is committed, creative, and fiercely dedicated to working for New Orleans’ students and schools; we bring experience from in and outside the classroom, as well as school and district leadership.

Our board brings a wealth of experience and expertise as they guide our work; they are trusted advisors and unyielding advocates for our city’s children.

NSNO seeks the best possible system for our students, educators, and schools to thrive, and we recognize the unique and distinct role we play. We work to navigate complex issues our system faces using our problem-solving approach to enable innovators—schools and programs—to better serve students.
