I agree with this man, current funding levels should be maintained unfortunately I think this guy is expecting other people to pay for it. If only we could all have free shite...

That was a lot more reasonable than I was expecting.

Would be nice if St George school district took over Jefferson terrace and made it a good connex box school instead of another bad EBR school.

The NAACP can eat a dick. What have they done in the past 40 years to advance anything?
Well, if you look at LBJ’s stated goal of keeping a certain group of people voting Democrat for the next 200 years, the NAACP has advanced that by leaps and bounds.
Other than that though, not much.

Correct.
You could put a very underfunded bare bones public school in a great middle class neighborhood with solid family homes and it would be an excellent school. (in this hypothetical no one sends kids private)
Starts AT THE HOME.
You could switch the faculties at Catholic High and Green Oaks and nothing would change.

I haven't read all of the paperwork, but how exactly does St. George prevent people of color from moving there? Is it in the rules, or like a moat or wall?

If there's a moat, I think they have legal ground based on stereotypes

Increased funding just means bigger cars for administrators.

I wonder if in the entire history of the democrat party there has ever been a problem that they didn’t think more taxpayer money could solve.
I’m guessing not.

quote:TLDR; It ain’t our fault.
As representatives of the Baton Rouge Chapter of the NAACP, we are deeply committed to safeguarding the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color in our city. It is with this commitment in mind that we address you today regarding the recent Louisiana Supreme Court decision supporting the incorporation of the proposed city of St. George and the Louisiana Legislature’s proposal of House Bill 6. The St. George plan poses significant risks to our education system, threatens the continuity of critical programs, and challenges community representation. The creation of a new municipality introduces considerable uncertainty around funding allocation for our schools, jeopardizing the cornerstone of our community's future: education. We urge the court to ensure that current funding levels are maintained, if not increased, to support our schools during this transition period. We emphasize the importance of community involvement in decisions that impact our children's education. The incorporation of St. George should not diminish transparency or reduce community input. We acknowledge Mayor-President Broome's opposition to the movement, reflecting concerns about potential segregation and unequal resource distribution. In light of these considerations, we call upon organizers, policymakers, and supporters to recognize the broader implications for education, community representation, and social justice. Our children and community deserve a stable, equitable, and inclusive environment, and we implore decision makers to prioritize these fundamental values. Additionally, we express our concerns about the proposed annexation into the new city of St. George and its implications for education. While we understand the desire for local autonomy, we urge careful consideration of the potential disruptions and increased financial burden on our schools and students. Drawing from the experiences of other Louisiana communities, we stress the importance of a comprehensive plan, community input, and collaboration to mitigate these challenges and safeguard the quality of education for our students. House Bill 6, by Representative Emily Chenevert, creates additional issues. Key concerns include the displacement of nearly 7,000 children and the unclear fate of those in specialized programs such as magnet, gifted and talented, focus choice, and C Tech. The impact on children with disabilities remains uncertain, as it could affect specialized classrooms and related services. The unknown costs of this legislation could negatively affect surrounding school districts like Baker, Central, and Zachary, as well as EBRPSS's ability to provide contracted services to children with disabilities. Further complicating matters are the potential expenses associated with acquiring or leasing buildings, buses, and other infrastructure, as well as the negative impact on staff employment and benefits. Critics also highlight the lack of a comprehensive plan addressing sustainability, funding, services, programs, staff benefits, and, most critically, the needs of students and families. In conclusion, we stand ready to collaborate with you to ensure that the interests of our students are protected and that they continue to have access to the excellent education they deserve, regardless of any changes in municipal boundaries. Thank you for your time and consideration of these crucial matters

With less money to go around, they will definitely start eating their own.

Do these morons really believe any court can just order money to appear out of thin air? Essentially this twerp wants StG to keep paying taxes into Baton Rouges coffers and maybe even impose additional taxes to pay for failing Baton Rouge schools.

It must be nice being able to go through life knowing that anytime you don’t want to do anything or don’t want to accept responsibility, you can always blame the mythical “boogeyman”.
The shite is lazy, disgraceful, and pathetic.

Yes, safeguarding those F-rated schools is a real concern.

I expected the EXACT whining. That's the ONLY reason Sharon gave a frick about this issue. Tax dollars don't flow in from NBR, they just flow out.
When does this take effect officially? Whatever the date, I give it 6 months before she starts passing the blame for crime in BR to the St George decision.
