This document is a 3-page executive summary of “Education after Katrina,” outlining the major findings of the report—declining student enrollments, lost school time among K-12 and college students, and the severe impact on regional child care systems—and argues for a “new federal response” to the relief and recovery related to education after Katrina, including:
• Conduct a comprehensive review of needs and take appropriate action to assist Gulf Coast schools.
• Help Gulf Coast colleges in need of support for recovery.
• Develop a plan to assist dropout students at all levels.
• Mobilize health care professionals to help storm-affected students and their parents.
