| NOLA Public Schools' Proposal for Systemwide Needs Program Funds Promotes Access and Opportunity Funding will go to critical work supporting teacher talent, specialized programming, mental health, career and technical education, and students learning English |
|
|
|
This week, NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) presented the district's proposal for Round 2 of the Systemwide Needs Program to the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB). The SWNP helps schools by funding projects, programs, and resources they would struggle to pay for independently. While the individual projects can vary yearly, NOLA-PS sets broad categories of SWNP funding every three years. In their presentation, NOLA-PS named the categories they want to set.
NSNO supports NOLA-PS plans to continue their two priority areas from the first round of funding: the “talent pipeline,” or teacher preparation and recruitment efforts, and “specialized programming,” which covers unique educational programs and trainings. The SWNP will have around $17 million to distribute across these categories over the next three years.
This decision is powerful because it reflects our schools' needs and input. In order to pick these categories, NOLA-PS engaged with our community. They connected with school leaders and surveyed the Parent Advisory Council and Student Advisory Council. By listening carefully and relying on the expertise of those impacted by these decisions, we believe that NOLA-PS made strong choices that will meet students’ and schools’ needs.

Talent Pipeline
Through NSNO’s own initiatives around teacher retention and recruitment, we’ve heard from schools just how important continued SWNP investments in local teacher talent will be.
These investments will build on the teacher recruitment and retention efforts from the first round of SWNP. They’ll also build on the work of a $10 million SEED grant from the federal government that supports the collaboration of local providers to recruit, prepare, and place teachers in New Orleans public schools. NOLA-PS has now proposed that SNWP add another $7 million to support those providers, which we expect to result in over 650 new hires over the next three years.
In addition, the next round of SWNP will focus on preparing local high schoolers and current school staff (like paraprofessionals) for careers in teaching. It can also go to providing stipends to advance teacher training and certification. Finally, NOLA-PS has proposed that some SWNP funds go to an exploratory study on a training program specific to our unique district structure, and fund a program focused on teacher wellness, community, and professional development.
Specialized Programming
Within this priority, NOLA-PS will continue to direct SWNP funds towards two areas they’ve funded in the past: alternative school programming for middle schoolers who have been expelled and mental/behavioral health supports for students across the district.
They’ve also expanded their focus in important ways to respond to the evolving needs of students in our city. Over the past few years at NSNO, we’ve heard from schools that they have increasing numbers of students who are new to this country (“newcomers”) and learning English. They also have more students who have autism, and they want to be able to best meet their needs. We were therefore glad to see that this next round of SWNP includes a focus on programming and supports for newcomers, English Learners, and students with autism.
The district has also expanded their focus with SWNP funding to include career and technical education programming (CTE). We know students are interested in good-paying jobs in high-demand fields, and schools want to offer them pathways to prepare. By including CTE in their plans, the district facilitates that opportunity and enables key, expensive resources–like expensive training equipment–to be shared across our schools. It facilitates collaboration, too, both across high schools and with programs and instructors with industry expertise.
Finally, the funding can also support citywide training for school teams in trauma-informed practices, educating English learners, crisis support, and social work services.
Next Steps
This round of SWNP funding categories demonstrates meaningful collaboration between NOLA-PS and our schools. We are grateful for how the district has listened to schools, educators, and families and worked to meet their most urgent needs.
When OPSB meets in March, they will have the opportunity to vote on this plan. This will set in motion a competitive process to select the specific programs and projects to fund within these categories. We look forward to the progress it will set in motion. Our schools shouldn’t need to reinvent the wheel around shared challenges. With the SWNP, the district makes it clear that our schools aren’t alone in their efforts–and they put meaningful resources behind solutions.
