About the School Facilities Master Plan  

A joint effort of the Recovery School District and the Orleans Parish School Board, the Master Plan provides a blueprint for an unprecedented school construction program that began as a result of the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina. 

  • Divided into six phases, based on enrollment projections, facilities conditions and funding.  The last major facilities plan for Orleans Parish schools, Vision 2000: Strategic Facilities Plan, was completed in 1994.
  • Total cost: approximately $1.8 billion through 2016
  • $700 million Phase I currently fully funded from FEMA and CDBG
  • Objective of Phase I: Remove approximately 7,000 students from temporary modular campuses, with bulk of new school construction projects in Phase I
  • Jointly adopted by the BESE and OPSB boards in November/December 2008
  • Right-sizes the public schools of New Orleans, reducing the number of permanent facilities from 128 poorly maintained pre-Katrina schools to approximately 85 permanent schools that will be designed for 21st Century learning
  • All new schools within the master plan will be built to LEED Silver standards
