Public Meetings for Redistricting Process (Round 2)
 
The Orleans Parish School Board will host a public meeting on February 16, 2012 at 3:30 pm to select the Redistricting Alternative for Orleans Parish. The meeting will take place at 3520 General DeGaulle, Suite 4050. This process is required by state law following the recent release of the U.S. Census population counts.  As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the distribution of New Orleans residents has shifted.  Prior public meetings discussed current districts’ boundaries and population levels, as well as the process required under state and federal law to prepare a plan which complies with legal requirements, including the Voting Rights Act.  Alternative plans have been developed through this process and are available for public review below.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With input from the public and the assistance of a redistricting consultant, the School Board will create a plan, vote on it, and submit it to the U.S. Department of Justice for approval. The following are the dates, times, and locations for the second round of public meetings concerning the redistricting process:
