House Bill 6, by Representative Emily Chenevert, creates additional issues. Key concerns include the displacement of nearly 7,000 children
How long are they going to repeat this lie. When central was formed they were complete in favor of keeping all these students in the school if they wanted to EBR fought it.

They pretty much are telling everyone else to frick off.
ST george should be able to do the same.
We only care about st george students.

Are they wanting to incorporate?
Are they inside the Shreveport city limits?

Access to white people and their money isn't a right.

Yep, pretty obvious that we are not “better together “.

but they’ll need new leadership for that to happen. Maybe Ted James can be that guy?
He thinks that the black community needs fixing, and the only way to fix that is to triple the taxes.
He thinks personal responsibility will appear if only ther is more money to go around.
If you give the poor a bunch of money, pay for all their child care, etc, then the adults in that community will suddenly care about education, get good jobs, fathers will stay with mothers, etc.

Hasn't the NAACP been trying to advance colored people since 1909? Here we are in 2024 and they still cant advance their own community to the point of self sufficiency. I think the NAACP needs to be fired.

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.
This should be a huge wake-up call to these idiots. Many EBR schools are in physical shambles, have horrible ratings, and extreme discipline problems that administrators either refuse to acknowledge or are prevented from removing.
Why on earth would I want to send more money to a failing school system? My property tax bill alone was a chunk of money, and we still pay for private. I would NEVER willingly write a check for such an inept service.

That was about as reasonable a statement as I could have expected from the NAACP. They are concerned that children's education will be underfunded, but they understand the desire for autonomy. They never called the St George voters racists, and that omission by itself makes this a landmark statement in reasonableness.

Why hasn't the naacp pressured the school board to perform better these past 30 years?

Will St. George offer any Section 8 housing?

if St. George wants that and other school properties they should have to buy them.
That's actually fair if all parties negotiate a price in good faith.
And that's what I've seen happen in similar circumstances in other states. We need to understand what % of tax dollars were contributed to EBRPSS by St. George relative to the rest of their district, and determine the value of the school itself and apply that % to it.
Honestly don't expect EBRPSS to negotiate in good faith, so likely the state will have to govern this kind of transition.

If you look at the map....they took out all the neighborhoods that did not support incorporation in the first petition in the second petition, which is what the voters ultimately passed. The neighborhoods included in St. George happen to correlate strongly with the political alignment with incorporation for that reason. Which also seems to correlate to single family, privately owned homes.
There aren't many apartment complexes in St. George at all, although they border quite a few of them.

Just so long as far more of St. George's tax revenue is spent outside of St. George......that's been the trend clearly.
Will EBR have to return a share of the money collected in St. George since the election in 2019? How will that happen?

Fair concern IMO.

Too bad Broom didn't understand this. Perhaps she should have just supported the school district they wanted 10 years ago while she was in the legislature. Then we wouldn't have to have a St. George city today.

Ellerbe? I think that's the neighborhood. I don't know the situation well, but I thought some of it was inside the city of Shreveport.
It's not really easy to incorporate if you are not already part of a city. It's probably impossible to do it if you have to be de-annexed first.
