School failures mount and with the BREXIT surge about to become evident in the US and Louisiana, we have evidence in the Advocate that people will not just give up. First is this article about the resurgence of the St. Georpe exit from Baton Rouge. theadvocate.com/news/16129086-100/one-year-after-st-george-petition-drive-fails-organizers-look-to-mount-another-campaign-in-2017 Even though it officially failed the people have not given up. Notice, the paragraph that is very telling, that young people with children are moving out of St. George to communities like Zachary and Central. A trend that will continue for at least the next two to three years. But also, the motive behind the opposition, is not the betterment of the schools, but the salvation of revenue and other services. Misplace priorities. If it fails this time, look for more exodus from EBR to Asencsion parish and Gonzales. The second is this story about the loss of revenue to public schools. Another scare tactic by this administration Edwards and Dardenne, to push an increase in the income tax. theadvocate.com/news/acadiana/16177656-123/it-is-going-to-be-devastating-public-schools-take-hit-amid-budget-mess Ok everybody sing it with me. There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me

One thing I learned from reading these was I didn't know you could get a voucher to leave a "C" rated school. "C" means average, a synonym for "normal", I don't understand why the government should pay for you to go to private school if your schools is an "average/normal" public high school. I can agree with vouchers for "F" and "D" schools", although I think there should be some limitations placed on if your school is "D" rated. For example, a school that is consistently C-rated and has a one year dip to D-rated then right back up to C-rated, I don't think that's voucher worthy, which would also translate into budget savings.
One thing I do think the budget situation is going to cause happen (and IMO should happen) is school consolidations, particularly in rural areas.
