SUNO to offer classes at N.O. high school for teens, adults

"We looked at the population shift, and the severe reduction in Orleans Parish population," Ukpolo said. It appeared many of those former New Orleanians had moved northwest to Baton Rouge and to parishes between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
