With power now restored to much of New Orleans, the citys public school system said individual schools will begin welcoming students back to the classroom as early as Wednesday, Sept. 15.
NOLA Public Schools officially closed on Aug. 30 following Hurricane Idas landfall on Aug. 29. Superintendent Henderson Lewis Jr. said while the district initially feared the worst for its schools, relatively little damage was sustained and most schools are only waiting to have power restored.
School site reopenings will be staggered based on each individual charter operators needs, but Lewis said he expects all students to be back in school by Sept. 22.
