Remembering Katrina

Hoping against another hurricane landing, President Bush made his 13th post-Katrina visit to New Orleans to mark the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The president, who visited sites where recovery efforts are ongoing, called the city's resurgence "impressive" but noted, "there is still a lot of work to do." Kevin Brown couldn't agree more. The executive director of Trinity Christian Community has been knee-deep in Big Easy recovery efforts, particularly in the neighborhood of Carrollton. While over 90 percent of Carrollton residents have returned to rebuilt homes—Brown said government officials "still haven't figured out how to connect with the grassroots people who are actually getting the work done." The city hasn't rebuilt public schools in Carrollton, but has rebuilt them in the lower Ninth Ward, where only 11 percent of residents have returned. But even that has a silver lining: Community and national groups have launched a chain of charters in the neighborhood, setting them up wherever they can find space. "Carrollton now has more charter schools than any place in the country," Brown said. The downside: Some kids have to travel to get to school. The upside: "I think the education is improving as a result."
