re: JBE pushing change for flawed Voucher Program

Do you see the difference in that statement and the one where you said nearly 100% would close?

In my opinion, based upon past closing practices of the archdiocese, and based upon the enrollment of said schools, every school that has at least 30% on vouchers would be in danger of closing if not for the vouchers. Almost 100 percent of voucher schools fit that category.

My statement remains.

Consolidation would happen maybe...or downsizong, etc.

Consolidation = closing a school. You can't really downsize a school in this situation.

New orleans is a shithole and many private schools now lie outside of new Orleans city limits. Thats why the ones IN New Orleans are the ines in trouble. Most everywhere else, private schools thrive, and one main reason is because they are NOT controlled by the government.

---

The archdiocese has in recent years closed schools outside city limits due to low enrollment. Further, many of the schools, at least on the southshore and westbank, have seen enrollment drops over the years. Not to the point of closing, but drops nonetheless.

Interestingly enough, it's the city high schools like Jesuit, Brother Martin, Dominican, and Mount Carmel, that are holding steady with enrollment, while schools like Rummel, Chapelle, and Shaw are dropping.

Where do you live, GeeOH? Because it seems like you are 100 percent incorrect here.

The voucher program is useful in concept but this state already spends enough on handouts glad to see some initiative to fix the loop holes.

Good to see that the govt will force them back to their rightful shitty govt run schools...
