I think most business owners would be willing to accept the known increases for being annexed into BR (plus the added benefit of lower insurance costs) versus the unknown and potentially much larger increases that might face them if they are included in SG.
That is what business owners are debating amongst themselves now.

So tying this together:
Because of a drop in revenue from charter schools (since the money follows the student, if more students go to charter schools that means fewer dollars go to 'regular' public schools) AND increases in expenditure (from retirement, healthcare, scheduled pay increases, etc), the EBRSB will be $29m in the red next year.
The superintendent's solution is the cut the admin budget (by 10%? ) and each school has to cut either 4% or 8% depending on the amount of free and reduced lunch students that attend. So schools with poorer students get cut less.
The Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts (which is a magnet) is going to drop the visual arts as a focus as a way to meet their 8% cut.
I am not trying to editorialize here, just summarizing.
