The Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB), branded as NOLA Public Schools, governs the public school system that serves New Orleans, Louisiana. It includes the entirety of Orleans Parish, coterminous with the city of New Orleans.
In the 2024-25 school year, OPSB currently governs 67 of the 74 public schools located in Orleans Parish including 1 direct-run school (The Leah Chase School) and 65 Charter Schools operated by 31 non-profit Charter Management Organizations. Though the Orleans Parish School Board has retained ownership of all the assets of the New Orleans Public Schools system, including all school buildings, over 90% of students attending publicly-funded schools post-Katrina in Orleans Parish attended charter schools.
Public charter schools in New Orleans previously operating under the state-run Recovery School District were returned to OPSB in 2018.
The headquarters of the OPSB is in the West Bank neighborhood of Algiers.
