First, I believe an honest, open discussion about these tax exemptions is necessary. Exemptions that bring a proportional number of new jobs is fine, but exemptions that avoid taxes but do not bring permanent jobs need to be eliminated.
Second, the EBRSS spends over 10 or 11 thousand dollars per student. Compare that to good Texad school districts and you will see that EBR spends more. We do not have a money.
Third, I mentioned that we need an honest discussion about these tax breaks, but this isn't an honest discussion. It's class warfare, it's us versus them, big v little and it's not based on facts.
TBR is s divisive group. They will pretend to be a unifier but when it comes to getting their agenda passed; they will divide, use class warfare and do anything to help them win.

I find it hilarious that they try to project themselves as something other than an ACORN, socialist/Marxist org. Aren't they funded by some Chicago-area organization?

while i agree with the overall sentiment of your post. The Baton Rouge ExxonMobil Chemical Processing plant cannot provide that many more jobs than it currently does to the region. Maybe a dozen here or there for a processing expansion, but let's not forget ExxonMobil has provided employment for thousands of hard working people in Baton Rouge for decades.
This teacher's union and whatever TBR is, need to just shut the frick up and take what's being handed to them. Without ExxonMobil, Baton Rouge is nothing more than Alexandria or Donaldsonville even.

which doesn't mean a fricking thing to an o&g corporation the size of XOM. Why do i have serious doubt that anyone over in Irving, TX has even read this cute little Advocate piece this morning.

That is twice as much as the ISDs around Houston. My school district is spending roughly $4500 per student.
