The One App aims to streamline school selection process for families and schools.

New Orleans parents with children in public schools already have to think about where they will send their students next year. That's because it's time to fill out the One App.

Short for "one application," the One App is a streamlined process for admissions at 74 New Orleans public schools. Parents and students can list up to eight schools they'd prefer to attend.

The application deadline is December 20 for the schools with selective criteria, which are new to the One App system. But not all selective schools are yet included in the One App.

AeshaRasheed with New Orleans Parents Guide talked with Diane Mack about the One App process and deadlines.
