I suppose the argument that you would hear in rebuttal to that is that SG schools would be just as good as EBR magnet.
Only a fool would believe that. And it completely ignores the schools in SG have a total seating capacity of approximately half the number of students who live in what would be the new SG district, and that excludes any private school transfers back into the public school system.

So immediately upon the new district being formed, half the students would not have a place to sit in a classroom nor are there enough classrooms to put new teachers into.

But no new taxes would be needed to fund any school expansions.

You don't have a dog in this fight and you don't have much knowledge of the overall situation.

More taxes would definitely be needed, but that isn't always a bad thing.

Yes. I do. I'm paying attention to it all because I have a 1yo. And I'm not sure where we'll be living in 5 years. Could be in Zachary. Could be in Central. Could still be here. We haven't decided on public or private. So this is interesting to me.

You said it yourself. This vote doesn't create the district. Things may change between now and then (if this ever happens).
