I have lived in what will be St. George if it makes it to a vote and wins. Anyway, I sent my first son to private schools because of the terrible EBR public school system and my second son went to the same private school from pre_K - 8th grade. My second son is now a freshman at Baton Rouge Magnet High School. I am wondering if St. George passes will my son no longer be able to attend BRMHS? How would it work if this thing passes and he is a junior? Seems like there would need to be some lead time for St.George to get everything set up.

Even if St. George the city happens, it will be a while before St. George the ISD does.

As I understand it, the city comes first, then they will probably have to fight it in court. After they win and have the city, it'll take a few years at least before they can get their school system. He will have graduated by then.

He will probably be able to finish, but I wouldn't put it past EBR Schools to be vindictive about the transition.

Either way, it needs to come to a vote.

Yep, they should've started with trying to form the ISD.

Your son will likely have graduated by the time the ISD is ever set up.

They tried that before forming a city. Got the boundaries of the SE Baton Rouge ISD signed into law, but the funding mechanism required a 2/3 vote in the legislature and failed

YEs, you should be OK. i have one daughter in BRMHS and the second will be a freshman there next year.

If the vote were to pass, that is only the first hurdle. Incorporation. The next is to go on a state ballot to get the entire state to vote to allow their own school district. Then they need time to set up the admin.

it took central 2 years from incorporation to get its own school district.

No, as opposed to the group (TBR) who successfully divided EBR Parish to get the CATS tax passed.
