Dean drops everything to help kids in New Orleans – UNO Charter School

“Perkins is one of three United Neighborhood Organization UNO Charter School employees who have relocated to New Orleans in order to set up the Esperanza Charter School, which, when it opens Aug. 20, will have the largest concentration of Latino students in the city.

They’ll work hand in hand with former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, who is coming off a five-year stint as the top schools administrator in Philadelphia, and ex-Police Supt. Terry Hillard. Hillards firm Hillard Heintze LLC has been brought in to help evaluate the security systems for the struggling Recovery School District.

Esperanza — it means “hope” in Spanish — with nearly 300 enrolled students, will be offering the same curriculum UNO offers charter school students in Chicago.”
