Katrina caused "significant damage to 110 of the city's 126 public schools" in New Orleans.
But Southern Mississippi at the Mississippi Gulf Coast also suffered great damage to homes and schools.
Mississippi took the head-on burnt of the actual hurricane, while New Orleans suffered flood and wind damage.
If any school had been open when Katrina came ashore, the loss of life would have been exceedingly high.
