Charter School Formation
St. George leaders are pushing to launch their own community charter school after the local school district rejected a partnership. That means the fight over where kids attend school—and how local tax dollars follow them—is now moving to the charter-approval stage.
School District Creation Vote Fails
St. George’s bid to break off and run its own school system failed at the ballot box, a major setback for the newly incorporated city. For now, students and taxpayers stay tied to the existing parish school system, and the city’s push for local control has to regroup.
