I don't live in Baton Rouge, but I am in the Baton Rouge area. The thought of moving to Baton Rouge crosses my mind from time to time since I have to go there for just about everything. When I last looked at houses, it was in an area that would be St George if it ever becomes a city.

With that said, is it likely St George will become a city? If so, how will this change the public school system? Currently kids do not go to the school they live closes to right? So if St George becomes a city then kids will be able to go the schools closes to them, whereas Baton Rouge will likely keep the public school system as it is?

This is just a reference, but here is the website I was looking at.

You couldn't afford it if it did, so just stay in the LP or AP.

Edit: just giving you a hard time. But no, St. George will not happen. They gave it their best go and it didn't happen.

when it starts back, everyone who signed the petition last time will sign it again plus there will be a lot more people sign this time who did not previously.

The new plan will be unveiled soon. Much much smaller area to be incorporated with annexations to follow. The way they should have done it to begin with.

Within the proposed area? That's totally false for most of them.

Wrong, unless they are in a magnet or gifted/talented program or if a school is overcrowded and thus some students may have to go to a school that's not closest to where they live.
Then they may go to a school farther from where they live.

Other than that EBR schools are based on a "neighborhood" system.

If St. George incorporates, that's still no guarantee it will get its school system.

Your q: "Will st George ever become anything of consequence?"

Short and long answer: No.

I would ask next: "why?"

Answer: because it's the only thing dumber than north Baton Rouge.

I will answer all questions concisely re this subject. My word is bond.

I still fail to understand why the public schools in LA are so terrible.

I sure hope they still include the big box stores on Millerville and the new development Greens at Millerville in the city of St. George. That would be good tax revenue for the new city.

I'd prefer if NBR would secede. They could call themselves St. Barack and stop dragging us down.

It would be funny watching them try to fund themselves.

I will definitely be signing this time as is everyone else in my family and friends. Alton Sterling was the best thing to happen to St. George. BR is fricked.
