My point is--if we have to build schools, why is that? If we were adequately represented would we not already have enough schools for our area?
Are the schools currently overcrowded?
A lot of SG proponents have pointed to the fact that there is only one high school in the area as proof of neglect or inadequate representation, but if the current high school is covering all the students enrolled in that area, then why would they build another one?

Some of their students are bused to mid city for middle school and Tara for high school. Legit concern, IMO...especially with respect to the middle school students. That's not a short distance especially in Baton Rouge traffic. The middle school attendance zone for the area south of I-10 is nuts.
To remedy this problem, they think St. George will need another high school and at least one new middle school (probably around Burbank/Highland or around Siegen/Perkins). Neither of those facilities are going to be cheap. They may not have to raise taxes to incorporate, but they will likely have to generate more revenue if they want to borrow to build those schools...although it will be great for students and parents in the end as well as property values in southern East Baton Rouge.
