No it has not. Vandals have been breaking into the school to steal the copper from the school. The school itself has not been touched since Hurricane Katrina as it sits in a time warp.

Our hurricane detection and warning systems are fairly effective, and i doubt a school would be open during a highly destructive hurricane any more than a snow day. A footnote about the fate of William Frantz Elementary. I saw a documentary about the valiant effort of the locals rebuilding New Orleans despite little or no outside help. (Sorry, I don't remember the name of the show.) One of the buildings featured was this very school. The outside doesn't look bad, but the flood damage inside made it unusable. The school would have been torn down if not for a lady who is leading a successful effort to restore it. Her name is Ruby Bridges Hall and this school has a special meaning for her. Fifty years ago Ruby walked into the school, with four marshals acting as her bodyguards, as she became the first black child to enroll in an all white school in the south. Norman Rockwell immortalized that moment in his famous painting "The Problem We All Live With." It seems appropriate that the little girl who made the school a landmark grew up to be the woman who would save it.
William Frantz School was built in the 1950s but i don`t know exactly when. That school was one of the first schools integrated and ruby bridges was 6 years old when she first started she was the only kid there for awhile.
she had 2 marshals in front and back to protect her from the angry mobs
