New Orleans Sees School Building Boom

With the real and deep need for rebuilding/ reconstructing schools in New Orleans right now, there is a huge amount of money being funneled into the project.  We are talking lots of money, FEMA pledged  1.8 billion and that is just from FEMA!  Is there really adequate over sight with all the money that is being used for rebuilding and reconstruction in New Orleans schools and are the real community needs and local school leaders voices being heard?  For instance since charters are short term contracts there is the thought that they shouldn't build the school around the charter environment and the charter school feels that there particular needs are not being met or considered. They do not want the larger buildings that are more expensive to operate.   This is just one example of the conflict of interest in rebuilding.
