If the state allowed an ISD for St George, would that be enough for the St George City people to call off the dogs? Or has that train already left the station?

I would be content with just having the ISD and not the city. My main problem is with the school system.

I'm 100% in favor of putting pressure on the EBR School Board to be more proactive in meeting the needs of the SE part of the parish's students. I just don't see the legislature and voters approving a constitutional amendment to create a SG ISD.

I would like to see it proposed to designate Woodlawn High School as an exclusively GT/magnet school, similar to BRMHS. Transfer the non-magnet/non-GT students to Tara and to Lee High when it fully reopens.

Then all those students who attend BRMHS but who live in the SG area could transfer to Woodlawn, freeing up space in BRMHS for additional students who are suffering on the waiting list to get in there.

Apparently you are fine with the education that they received, good for you. But the entire St. George movement is strictly about creating a new school district. Those parents involved want a better school district for the kids in that area. I don't begrudge them for that.

So many people are jumping aboard this SG city thing thinking its all about the schools. Do people realize that creating a city will entail us tying a lot more on than we can handle? Taxes will go through the roof.
SG area can handle an ISD not a city. Im all for the ISD.
