February is a big month for public school families. Applications to most of the city's schools are due on Feb. 27.
The New Orleans Parents' Guide is a key resource for families. It offers detailed information about every public school in the city.
Aesha Rasheed and Audrey Stewart produce the guide each year. They recently talked about the guide and application process with WWNO Education Reporter Mallory Falk.
Stewart is also a local public school parent, and brought her baby Isaiah into the studio — you might hear him in the background.
Rasheed says she started the guide as families returned from Katrina and needed to re-enroll their children in schools.
Support for education reporting on WWNO comes from Baptist Community Ministries and Entergy Corporation.
