The 5 Guiding Principles
Updated: Jun 12, 2020

A consortium of organizations and individuals invested in the lives of the children of our community have been working in concert with each other to advocate for common principles that would insure the school system our children deserve. This group has worked to expend and expound on, what was then called the “5 Principles of Unification”, into 5 Guiding Principles of Excellence, Access and Success for All Children
Organizations and individuals offering public support for the 5 Guiding Principles include:
Alliance for Citizen Engagement
Alliance for Diversity and Excellence
Inspire NOLA Charter Schools
National Coalition of 100 Black Women
New Orleans College Prep
Total Community Action
Orchid Society
Orleans Public Education Network
These 5 principles have evolved over time due to the detailed policy interest expressed by our members as well as the children and families we serve.
Please review the 5 Guiding Principles of Excellence, Access & Success for all Children
Please consider joining in the effort to support the themes and principles that can bring our community closer to providing high quality education for all.
