Lusher is a Type 3 charter school that is authorized by Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB). Beginning with the 2017-18 school year, Lusher Charter School is its own local education authority (LEA).
Lusher recognizes the important role parents play in the education process. The success of any student’s program depends on the participation and commitment of all persons responsible for the student. A strong partnership between Lusher and the parents is essential.
