quote:Maybe the appropriate phrasing would be local government subsidies to assist in reducing college education expenses. My intention was to highlight that in Louisiana, attending state universities is often more affordable for your children compared to many other states.
You say, “other than some fees” like it’s some small add ons that don’t amount to much. Those “some fees” are literally MORE than the tuition. I have a kid at la tech right now. Tuition is $1800/qtr. fees are $2k/qtr plus books. You can make points about why someone would want to stay in LA, but saying “free education” simply isn’t one of them, and as I said before, it brings into question everything else you say when you throw that obvious falsehood in the mix.

consistently underfunding them
I strongly concur with much of what you said, this however, is horseshite. EBR Parish spends almost 50% more per student than Harris Country does. It is NOT a funding issue. Teachers being beaten up in their classrooms, a huge percentage of students that have never had a father figure or anyone at home that’s involved in their education, siblings that are already incarcerated, school staff bloated with administrator types that are hired based on nepotism, and provide no value to actual attempts to educate and on and on.
It is societal, not a money issue.

A quick google search makes me question your statement:
quote:
In 2022, the district spent $11,464 per student, but data from the institute determined that $24,000 would be an adequate per-student spending figure.
quote:
East Baton Rouge Parish Schools spends $13,656 per student each year.
It sounds like funding could be an issue for both.
Saying that, I think demographics have a significantly greater influence on academic performance than funding does. I just wanted point out EBR isn’t some highly funded school system like Baltimore.

The New Orleans-Metairie Metropolitan Area, which encompasses seven parishes near the city, saw the steepest declines of any large metro nationwide from 2020 to 2023.
The metro region lost 45,000 residents during those three years, a 4.3% drop primarily due to residents leaving Orleans and Jefferson parishes. Each of those parishes lost more than 20,000 residents due to out-migration to other parts of the state or the country.
St Tammany parish saw 5% increase in its overall population
