The Recovery District in New Orleans says 47 school facilities in heavily damaged parts of the city will be closed permanently, New Orleans City Business says. Except for Harriet Tubman Elementary and Schwartz Alternative High School, all the schools slated for demolition remain vacant in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
