re: What’s next for St George?

In light of the Callais decision, is it time to try to challenge the EBRPSS consent decree? You’d lose on the district level, but win on the appellate level. St. George wouldn’t get its own school system, but they’d stop bussing which would cure part of the issues they have with the current school system. If they win that, having their own school system isn’t as far of a jump as it is now.

I don’t believe there’s any force bussing. Wasn’t the desegregation case settled over a decade ago? Maybe I’m wrong

LMAO! You think Central wants St George and all of the extra housing and apartments that would lead to more opportunity for others to join their school system???

That was settled 20 years ago. No more forced bussing. Students in F schools can choose to transfer to the C schools, but that is in any district in Louisiana. Magnet schools no longer have race based quotas.

You don’t seem to know much.

The amendments failed because they tended to be vague and/or ambiguous.

Like I said a real dumbass.
You voted with the Democrats and never Trumpers and you think it was for conservative reasons. True hardheaded and true dumbass.

I fully expected this with the VOTE NO on all amendments coming from many angles.
At any rate from what i understand another charter school oranization (which runs some good ones) is looking at locations within StG and were waiting to see how the vote went before moving forward. Given that in the 7 years since St G was voted into existence and getting to this point, the number of HUD develepmonts and sec 8 properties within StG have increased to the point of really weakening an independent school district.
At the rate it's going nationwide - wherever their are failing public schools - charter schools are popping up and crippling them and further reducing the number of traditional public schools.

Sounds like EBR is about to charge St George the out of parish rate if its children want to attend its schools.

yet EBR schools grade out at a 73(which is now called a C)
Some of what they call "magnets" is laughable

Not sure what’s vague or ambiguous about creating a St George school district

Hmm…According to Google: The East Baton Rouge Parish School System (EBRPSS) earned a historic district performance score of 72.4 (a "C" rating). Overall, EBR ranks 10th in the state for student growth. In overall academic performance, the district ranks in the middle tier of Louisiana’s 70+ public school districts, landing well below top-rated systems but ahead of dozens of lower-performing districts.
I know people keep saying it’s the worst, but the data says it’s not too bad for high poverty, high minority, intercity school district. The data also says it’s trending in a positive direction.
Yet the top ten performing school district in the state are.... WF, Ascension, Livingtson, Zachary and Central add Plaquemines, Desoto(shale money) ,Camerion, vernon and lincoln..... for the money spent a 72 was a D when I was in school and is far from acceptable.

Like I said earlier, it was likely by design it was a quiet vote because if I had to guess, that’s the blueprint most others followed. Now that this failed, I’d expect it to get a lot nastier towards EBR schools.
They’re gonna have to drag EBRPSS through the mud now. Will that work? Who knows.

And a significant percentage of the remainder have kids in EBRPSS gifted/talented and magnet programs, so they aren't suffering the consequences of their choices (other than having weirdo kids).
Leaving a small number in the proposed new school district sentenced to the utter failure of a fricktardian school system.

Question, where are these developments?

Not sure it will work but it will be true, I’m sure.
If you don’t win the lottery and get into BRMHS or Liberty, you are generally fricked education-wise in the district.

EBRSS leaders did all they could to make it about this, and if you look at the comments on WBRZ or WAFB’s posts about this, our darker skinned residents, and the scourge of guilty liberal white women were dancing with glee.
One Mensa even posted “nan nana boo boo”. WTF?
