NEW ORLEANS The Dryades YMCA got a judge to temporarily block the Orleans Parish School Board from certain actions Friday as the public school district moves to close James Singleton Charter School, a public charter school run by the historic Y in Central City since 2006.
Primarily, the court order stops the New Orleans Public Schools district staff from placing around 300 Singleton Charter School students in other public schools, a process the district told the school board it would begin this week.
