Are you saying that independent school districts do not require going through the state legislature?
No. YOU said that.

Are you saying that cities cannot have their own school systems independent from parish government?
No, its possible. Still has to go through the legislature and still has to be approved by the voters of EBR parish as a whole, as well as statewide. Nothing changes in that regard when a city is created.

I grew up in Central and graduated from there in 06. My question is why do I not remember there being such a backlash from BR about us wanting to incorporate?
I don't understand how people could not want better public schools... Property values skyrocketed in central after the incorporation due to so many people moving into the district
Now Central is in the top 5 I believe in districts in the state.
Why would people in St. George not want this?
During my 4 yrs at Central high I would say our demographics was 60/40 due to the m&m's ( minority to majority transfers) meaning that if you life's in EBR parish and were a minority the school system would bus you to a majority white school if your parents chose.
Now Central is closer to 90/10...

Ok, see, that's what I didn't understand. I was under the assumption that incorporated areas could have their own school districts like they do in every suburb of Atlanta and Cleveland. I apologize for the incorrect statement.
