Independent school districts must be approved by the legislature unless they are part of an incorporated city.
Who lied to you? The constitutional amendment would still have to pass the legislature. It would still have to be approved by the voters, parish-wide.
eta: also, I suspect the St. George politicians have desires to include some of the city of Baton Rouge in their proposed school district (to grab more money). I just really doubt the boundaries will match up with the city. The city and the school would be two completely separate entities with two different taxing districts.

Are you saying that independent school districts do not require going through the state legislature?
Are you saying that cities cannot have their own school systems independent from parish government?
