New Orleans Equity Index

The New Orleans Equity Index is a partnership between the Louisiana Center for Children's Rights (LCCR) and the Orleans Public Education Network (OPEN). Conceived in 2015, the project is guided by a Steering Committee made up of representatives from 11 organizations with diverse perspectives and commitments to education equity. The Equity Index project seeks to provide transparency and accountability to help inform decision-making about education in New Orleans. We envision a city where every school values and promotes equity in policy and practice and all children receive an education that affirms their fundamental dignity and helps them thrive.
