Try and argue against the fact that the growing areas of the metro areas have the best public schools.


Invest all you want but the creation of St. George literally does nothing (legally speaking) to help form a new school district.

Incorrect. It wasn't a serious effort to reform the schools. They used you to get the incorporation just like they used us to get their land developed by BREC and pulled the bill once BREC bought the right person's land.

I'm hoping for the best but it doesn't seem realistic to me.

I think Zachary school systems will go in a nose-dive within 10 years.

Schools are on the agenda. This has been an up hill battle but St George had to be formed before the schools set up.

Zachary could follow Baker but I hope not because my son is in the process of closing on a house. I see no effort or even interest in improving EBR schools. If we can’t improve them with EBR maybe we can do it apart.

Nothing but your opinion.

But one thing you are overlooking is that SG has a much stronger tax base than Central or Zachary which even though you refuse to admit it have a way better school system than EBR. SG could do as well or even better considering the bigger tax base.

Soooo the 2 times StG residents tried to reform the schools / get an additional school in the southern part of the parish was all a ruse? Hell, it was Barrow and SWB that told the group they would have a better chance at getting the school if they incorporated, which is the whole reason StG ever even came to be.
