The Times-Picayune reports that, after more than a decade of oversight by a state-run education agency, most of the schools in New Orleans will move back into the Orleans Parish school district over the course of the next two or three years.

No other school system in the country has as large a share of students in public charter schools, with more than nine in 10 students attending. There is no school assignment based on geographic location, like in most public school districts. Instead, families choose schools using a common enrollment system that covers schools in both the Orleans Parish district and the state-run district.
