The Recovery School District is a special statewide school district administered by the Louisiana Department of Education. Created by legislation passed in 2003, the RSD is designed to take underperforming schools and transform them into successful places for children to learn. While the majority of RSD-supervised schools are within New Orleans and were largely under the administration of the Orleans Parish School Board pre-Katrina, the RSD has also taken over schools in East Baton Rouge, Caddo and Pointe Coupee parishes, reflecting its statewide authority and full name, the Recovery School District of Louisiana.
The Recovery School District's supervisory board is BESE, the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The RSD has two offices, with one in New Orleans serving schools in Greater New Orleans and one in Baton Rouge serving other areas.
