Since Hurricane Katrina, 25 New Orleans public schools have reopened as independently run charter schools. They obtained their charters through the Louisiana Department of Education's Recovery School District, the Orleans Parish School System or the Louisiana Board of Elementary & Secondary Education (BESE).
