The Recovery School District took control of 112 schools last November, leaving the Orleans Parish School Board to oversee 16. Six of those schools will reopen Tuesday to nearly 3,000 students. Smith will oversee the district's $19.6 million budget and the distribution of that money. It's a task that doesn't come easy. The district is infamous for its muddled finances, missing money and corruption, but Lambert said Smith is aware of that.
