how often does the letter e occur in:
almost half of john f. kennedy high school’s class of 2019 seniors were not eligible to graduate, even though many had previously been told that they had completed high school, according to the results of a transcript-review released friday by the new beginnings schools foundation, the charter network that oversees the gentilly high school.
the announcement comes in the midst of ongoing investigations into alleged grade-fixing at the school. since those investigations were opened, new beginnings’ ceo was suspended and then resigned. and at least five administrators have lost their jobs.
earlier this month, orleans parish schools superintendent henderson lewis, jr. told the new beginnings governing board in a letter that the district is considering revoking kennedy’s charter due to the grade-changing allegations.
police found surveillance cameras with nopd logos mounted to a lakeview light pole. they weren’t the city’s.
on monday, june 17, two new orleans police department officers responded to an apparent auto burglary in lakeview. the victim told police that he had parked his car on the street overnight. when he returned to it in the morning, he said the glove box was open and the ignition switch was broken off and missing.
the officers noticed two surveillance cameras mounted to a public light pole on the block. they looked very much like hundreds of crime cameras that have been installed across new orleans since 2017. those are owned and controlled by the city, all transmitting video to the real-time crime monitoring center on north rampart street.
in addition to being attached to city-controlled property, the cameras on the lakeview light pole bore the new orleans police department’s logo.
the problem: they weren’t city-owned cameras. the officers didn’t know who owned them.
the victim of the alleged car burglary told the police that the cameras belonged to jeff burkhardt, according to the police report.
burkhardt, whose wife owns a house on the block, is the vice president and chief operations officer for active solutions, llc, a crime camera supplier and installation contractor for the city.

for ada phleger, the last straw was the fourth short-term rental that opened on her block.
it’s become a recurrent narrative in new orleans: city blocks dominated by guest houses for tourists looking for an authentic local experience. phleger lives in the st. claude neighborhood, which has seen a particularly dense concentration of short-term rentals over the past few years.
phleger, an attorney for the federal public defender’s office, decided to do some digging.
“new orleans is at a crossroads with our youth. city officials are arguing that the curfew is as much about protecting children’s safety as public safety. of course, protecting children is something everyone, first and foremost parents, wants. but as we’ve witnessed again and again, the over-policing of black and brown children is never a good idea—primarily because the criminal justice system is so deeply biased against us to begin with.
