How is St. George any different than independent school districts?

Independent school districts must be approved by the legislature unless they are part of an incorporated city. For example, all students in Gonzales go to Ascension Parish Public schools, but if Gonzales wanted to form their own school system, they could using the boundaries of the city limits. If Prarieville (an unincorporated area) wanted to do the same, they would need either permission from the state legislature or they would need to incorporate.
St. George tried the independent school district, but it failed in the legislature (several times). Now, they're trying to succeed by incorporating.
