How to kill St.George.

It looks like, for now, that a vote on SG incorporation will happen in May at the earliest.
The legislature convenes in April. Since the boundaries of the original SEBR were passed previously, it would only take funding the district to bring it to life. Will anyone propose this to divert the incorporation effort?
I, for one, am a strong SG proponent, but I would admittedly be satisfied enough with the formation of the ISD that I would be OK with dropping the pursuit of incorporation, for now. Would either side "agree" to it?
Just something to chew on.....

The incorporation of the City of St. George does not get that area a new school district. If the city passes, the legislature will pass a school district that matches the city boundries. In order to fund the district and transfer ownership of property a constitutional amendment will need to pass the state, Ebr parish, and the Ebrpss taxing area.
A lot of the people involved in the movement have been misled into thinking a city automatically gets them a school district.
Easiest way to get control of the schools in sebr would be for the group to form a charter school group and then have the new BRAC elected school board give them the schools they want.

No. EBR got its panties in a wad that people and tax dollars wanted to leave.
Media stories were run that St. George is a racist movement. That is fricking despicable. You know God forbid people want a better education for their children. You have a city like Baton Rouge that has a very large minority percentage with failing schools and violence. Why would anyone want to send their kid to those shitty public schools that have no accountability and constantly lie and fudge numbers?
It is despicable that any residents living there have to pay taxes to fund EBR schools, and still pony up more cash to send their kid to a high dollar private school just so they can get an education worth a shite.
EBR should have let them have a school district and this shite never would have gotten to this point.

At this point I continue to support St. George simply because I do not want a dime of my tax dollars going to downtown development.
