The bloggers, educational journalists, and other pundits are weighing in on the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the educational system of those cities hit by the storm, and beyond.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought some good might come of the disaster, if a complete New Orleans school system overhaul does in fact happen. Given that the school system was described as being in turmoil two weeks before Katrina struck, I'd say a complete overhaul is more necessary now than ever.
EdWeek has a nice collection of links to education stories related to Katrina and the aftermath.
This week's Carnival of Education has a lovely classroom dialogue with links related to Katrina discussions.
Michele Catalano's Kids of Katrina school supplies donation fund is gathering steam. So far 6100 refugee students have enrolled in Texas schools; Mississippi isn't sure yet how many new students they'll have. Please take a moment to donate to Kids of Katrina.
