By
Former Tulane University President Scott Cowen cheers the massive changes in the New Orleans education system that followed Hurricane Katrina in a Huffington Post essay. In the fall of 2005, the state took over 80 percent of the city's public schools. "The turnaround of New Orleans' public schools -- only 5.7 percent are now failing compared to 65 percent pre-Katrina -- has been critical to the resurgence of the city as a whole," he wrote in the days leading up to the ninth anniversary of the storm.
