One of the conference panels featured principals from the first schools, which were all charters, to open in Orleans Parish after the 2005 storms. Those in attendance were instructed about a voluntary collaborative among these 10 schools, built initially around school leadership development and expanded to include shared costs for legal and other services. Baptist Community Ministries and the School Leadership Center of Greater New Orleans were key to the collaborative's success.
