In Louisiana, attendance zones could be vulnerable to a challenge based on the promise in the state constitution that the public schools provide \u201cequal opportunity\u201d for every individual.
A separate set of laws apply to the Recovery District which was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The legislature requires that the students in the Recovery District be assigned to schools \u201cwithout regard to the attendance zones\u201d and that schools have open enrollment policies for \u201cthe enrollment of students
in reasonable proximity to the neighborhoods where concentrations of students reside.\u201d La. Stat.Title 17 \u00a7 10.7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
