Exactly. If they think it through, there is no way in hell the majority of the catholic school families pull their kids and place them in the "new" public school. And those are the people that St George needs to vote with them.


Bingo. Even if St. George passes, it is still the same old Woodlawn High with the same demographics they are looking to change. I would imagine some of the magnet school families would try to move into Baton Rouge as well if possible.

Maybe I am wrong, just don't see any way this will make them even remotely close to Zachary or Central, especially with their leadership.

Obviously, it's going to be a long process to get new schools built and turn things around. You don't erase multiple generations worth of incompetence with a single vote. The passing vote signifies the majority is finally in place to put this town back on track...on track to being the great place it has the potential to be. It really is amazing this has gone on for so long. The city has to be excited behind closed doors...they'll finally have a decent school system that they can tout when entertaining new businesses that are interested in relocating here. Imagine how that conversation goes now..."ummmm, yeah, just keep on flipping thru the brochure, no need to read ALL the fine print...put that thing down and let's go sample some of south LA's finest cuisine."

It won't be hard to out-do the sterling leadership of the ebrp school board.
