The impact of St. George on Baton Rouge
Posted on 5/3/24 at 2:03 pm
Posted on 5/3/24 at 2:03 pm
I have only driven through BR but it seemed like an OK place. I guess living there tells a different tale. I have seen the hype about this for years and well it has finally happened. Are any former BR residents going to move back? Will this have a big impact on the future of BR?
Sorry if this has been discussed.

I doubt people who moved out of BR would then move back to SG. A more realistic scenario would involve people living in BR moving to SG.

An unincorporated portion of EBR parish incorporated into a new city named St. George. Baton Rouge will be fine as they were when Central, Zachary and Baker all did the same thing. They're all 5 still in EBR parish. /thread

On a surface level, I dont think the average joe in BR will notice much of anything. North BR will suck and be a dump because the people there dont give a shite about anything. South BR will continue to be the same. You will have good areas and pockets of bad areas. My neighborhood isnt nice because of the government. Its because we wont let it turn into North BR. The business around me willl continue to succeed because we dont rob them and we clean up our mess.
Thats how I see it. The school situation might change but people with money are still going private.
Gravy fat and mad either way

Hoping schools like woodlawn, southeast, and shenandoah become better schools because of this. Getting rid of the transfer busses should be a big help

Baton Rouge will continue as it was. The only real difference is that business will start to move to St. George because taxes will be lower (despite what Broomestown tries to tell people). The school system, when it is formed, won't be suddenly great. What will be better is that Woodlawn High will no longer be a dumping ground for bad teachers and worse administrators. As the flagship school for St. George ISD, WHS will have the best principal that they can get to come in. In no place was The Art of War more accurate than in education.
Don't overload your classrooms. Keep your class sizes appropriate to the students and subject.
If your APs are weak, the teachers will walk all over them.
A principal who does not control his APs and make them actually do their job will lose his school
A weak principal will have a weak staff. Happens every time.
Don't throw your new teachers to the wolves. Too many schools put the new person on a cart, roaming, with three preps and all 9th grade retards.

I'll just use a family member's address in StG to send my kid to school. Win win for me.

None of this matters. The enemy to peace and prosperity in this region has already crossed the Rubicon (aka Jones Creek) and can’t be stopped regardless of what you call the city.

Anyone who tells you taxes will go down in St. George is lying. Sales taxes and EBR parish wide taxes aren't going anywhere. And the property tax that goes to schools will be higher than EBR (Central and Zachary millages are higher than EBP.)
Also, residents will gladly pay the higher taxes for the independent school district and ability to keep the sales taxes in the city.

I agree taxes will go up, but I imagine some of that will have to do with property value raising. Not only the ISDS but the city maintenance and planning as well, enhanced police presence, cleaned out drainage ditches and gutters, and better zoning not letting them put up low quality housing anywhere they want.

Central and Zachary can't even sniff the cash flow that St. George will have.
