08.28.2015 AFC Daily News Clips – morning edition

Good morning:

Four quick links to check out this Friday morning:

• A new blog written by Paul Dauphin, New Orleans resident and the communications director for the Louisiana Federation for Children, “You Don’t Need a Katrina.”
• As the nation looks back on Katrina at 10, here’s a powerful video we released at this year’s summit, “The New Orleans School Choice Story.”
• The Seventy Four put together a compelling three piece series on Hurricane Katrina and its impact on schools.
• In case you missed it, EducationNext published a piece about the impact of the reforms, namely public and private choice, had on New Orleans, “Good News for New Orleans.”

Have a great morning.
