Government reform advocate David Osborne's new book includes a look at New Orleans' post-Katrina school reform.

New Orleans’ post-Katrina experiment with public education has drawn the attention of pro-charter-school education reformers across the U.S. Today, 9 in 10 New Orleans public school students attend charter schools. One reformer who has had his eye on New Orleans is David Osborne. Osborne’s 1992 book ‘Reinventing Government’ had a major impact on government reform efforts during that decade. Now Osborne leads the Progressive Policy Instituteand is advocating for education reform through charter schools. WWNO’s Jess Clark sat down with Osborne to talk about his new book ‘Reinventing America’s Schools,’ which includes a look at the New Orleans school system.
