Plans are still on track for the former John A. Shaw Elementary School to open next year as an ENCORE Academy charter school. The Arts Street campus, built in 1939 and designed by architect E.A. Christy, was on the auction block this past fall, then removed when the school sparked interest in the property. The school is currently "finalizing the sale with the Orleans Parish School Board, choosing a local architect and choosing a contractor for the renovations." [Uptown Messenger/previously]
