Board overseeing Cohen, Crocker and Hoffman schools reports improved financial health

It was a quick meeting Monday night for New Orleans College Prep’s Board of Trustees with four of the members slated to speak not present. Nevertheless, the board approved the prospective sale of their holding in 1424 S. Derbigny St. and learned the charter network’s financial situation has improved. The charter operator obtained a share in 1424 S. Derbigny St. when it foresaw a sustained role in Sylvanie Williams College Prep, seeing the neighboring property as a potential site of development.
