NEW ORLEANS – New Schools for New Orleans (NSNO) Co-CEO's Michael Stone and Maggie Runyan-Shefa joined Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) Superintendent Henderson Lewis, Jr. and Recovery School District Superintendent (RSD) Patrick Dobard and education leaders at a special event to honor more than 20 educators at the second annual New Orleans Excellence in Teaching Award banquet Wednesday, May 25, 2016, at the Arbor Room at Popp Fountain, in City Park, at 9 a.m.
Launched in 2015, the New Orleans Excellence in Teaching Awards recognizes educators throughout New Orleans whose contributions rarely make headlines, but whose impact will endure long after the students they serve leave their classrooms, organization reps said. Finalists received a $2,000 bonus check as well as a proclamation from Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
