The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School for Science and Technology has become the first public school to reopen in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. For the past two years, King's faculty has lived a vagabond existence--first, in a building so blighted they refused to bring students there; then at a renovated site miles away. But they never stopped plotting a return to the neighborhood. On Monday, teachers welcomed close to 400 students.
