ORLEANS, LA, Sunday, August 26 – FirstLine Schools, Inc is closing all five of
its public charter schools from Monday, August 27 through Wednesday, August 29

affecting the New Orleans area. These schools are: Samuel

School, Langston Hughes Academy, and Joseph S. Clark Preparatory High School. We
plan to have school resume on Thursday, August 30.
“Our top priority is the safety
of our staff and families.” Stated Jay Altman, FirstLine Schools’ CEO, in an
