St. George school district would force construction of more schools than planned

But no additional taxes would be needed to build those schools....

The formation of a St. George independent school district would force more than 6,000 kids to change schools — up to 20 percent of the students in the parish school system — and St. George leaders would have to build as many as eight new elementary schools to handle the influx.....
A St. George with an identical city and school district would cause 8,347 students to change schools. Twenty-seven percent of the potentially displaced children are in magnet schools, while 53 percent attend traditional schools.
Recently, St. George leader Norman Browning lowered that to three or four new schools, but Bagert suggests it is more likely that 12 new schools would need to be built: eight elementary, two middle and two high schools. His estimates are based on maximum enrollment for elementary schools of 450 students, middle schools of 850 students and high schools of 1,200 students.

Why do you hate education?

You purposely cut this part of the article out when you posted your "quote". The source, for those who may read your partial quote as though it were based on fact, is a group of leaders affiliated with the "Greater Sixty-Aid Baptist Church". Pretty telling omissions on your part, although I'm sure it was just an oversight.

I always trust what the church leaders in Gardere say.

I mean, doesnt this prove the point thats at the heart of the people of St George's gripes? Theres gonna be a lot of empty schools north of I-12.

No.

.
Why would this be the maximum? Especially with the HS, having relatively small enrollment and spreading resources is a major problem in EBR. Why not build one HS with 2,500 enrollment complete with a Magnet Track?

You've added nothing of value to this thread. You don't even live in Gardere.
It's too bad you ignore my posts.
Clearly you ignored the source of the data in your own article as well.

Fact check,
I googled three new schools in the SG district to determine how many students they currently hold.
Woodlawn High School which has 1320 students
Woodlawn Middle School which has 1015 students
Woodlawn Elem which has 761 students
Now why would a SG opponenttell us that a new high school could only hold 1200 students, a new middle school 850 students and a new elementary school could only hold 450 students when the three schools just build hold far more students than that?
It makes me wonder about their other numbers too.
But I also know that new schools will have to be built, and I also know I am currently paying taxes to build new schools, but what I don't know is whether my current taxes dedicated for new schools in EBR Parish is enough to build the necessary schools for a new SG ISD.
I also would like to know how many kids would attend public school in new SG ISD. That is another critical number. And I don't trust the SG opponents to provide that number.

Maybe these chuch leaders from the Gardere area should ask BR to annex them.

Of course not, but the lower the school size the more schools they can say need to be built.
More scare tactics from the opposition.

I've often spoke out against SG solely for their underselling of the costs but the smartest thing they could do if it became a reality is to expand Woodlawn into a large high school (2,500+) with an advanced and gifted program. Solves a lot of problems.

You may want to check your sources before stating them as gospel chief.

Well, as long as the Gardere preachers say so, then i guess it's fact.
One of your more pathetic anti St. George posts.

Why does Browning still suggest that no more than 4 new schools are needed for the proposed school system if more than 6,000 students living in proposed SG would have to be placed out of EBR schools? There are already over 4,000 students in current SG area schools. If you include schools within BR limits that have been rumored in the past to be part of the proposed school district, that number goes up to over 6,000. That should be a total of like 10 schools overall. If just 4 new schools were to be added, we could be looking at 12,000 students for 14 schools.

All this proves is that the SG area has been neglected more than previously thought by the EBR school system. The students are in the area, but there aren't any schools for them.

One option certainly. But I would think a new high school should be built West of I-10 and South of Highland to serve the western side of the ISD.
It's unfortunate that 100,000 people only have one high school built in their area isn't it?
