I think it’s much more likely it gets defunded once after democrats take the Congress in 2026
18-29 year olds are the most fiscally and socially conservative in decades and their support of Trump has fallen off a cliff. It’s going to be a bloodbath in November.

And I fully expect that, unlike the GOP, the democrats are going to push through a ton of legislation that will ensure future election victories.

Unfortunately, I think it’s about to be a rough 6-8 years.

So just to be clear, you believe that the actions of an outgoing President have no bearing on the next cycle of Congresional and Presidential elections?

Correct, Dems are going to cruise in 2028 and 2030, and this entire country is going to get pushed hard to the left. Get ready for brutal taxes, open borders, and rampant corruption.

No it wasn’t. Probably 15 shots not automatic


I was there. Easily over 30 shots and very clearly an automatic weapon. I’ve been around guns my entire life. There were 5-7 bursts over about a 45 second period. I was in the back and thought it was pretty obvious that it was coming from across Gardere but apparently someone in the front of park started screaming that the gunman was in the park and that caused everyone to start running.

Somewhere between 30-50 shots. Automatic weapon for sure.
I cannot imagine flying without my noise-cancelling headphones. As soon as I get on the plane, they go on.

Our kids go to very, very different schools. Pretty much everything is digital at ours.

It's MFP money. I doubt it passes though.


But what is the enforcement of the rule? Does the legislature think the Department of Education is going to pull MFP funding from a school for being in the LHSAA?

That’s not a great way to stay elected.

Antonio.....do you think HB664 will pass when the legislature goes back into session?


Who knows?

Not sure what the enforcement mechanism is. The bill isn't well drafted.

College Football ratings have steadily increased every year. The playoffs this year saw a 14% increase in viewership compared to last year.

well, mandeville high is losing a kid who could help them athletically so why can't they deny a different kid who will hurt them academically?


They aren't "losing" anyone. The new rule only affects kids enrolling in LHSAA schools for the first time.

And whether Mandeville denies entry to kids based on academics has nothing to do with the LHSAA or the other 410 schools that are members of the LHSAA. You keep arguing nonsense.

Jose and Lisa live in the public school zone for Mandeville High. Jose decides to go play baseball at some school in NOLA with no penalty. Lisa does NOT play sports but is very low academically, so can Mandeville deny Lisa entrance to their school because she would hurt their SPS score and it NOT effect their funding?

Only seems fair, right?


That's up to the St. Tammany School District. It has nothing to do with the LHSAA.

There seems to be a huge disconnect with some posters on what the LHSAA is and what they govern.

The LHSAA is so dumb. We were getting conflicting information from 3 different high school AD's about eligibility. I sent an email to LHSAA asking for clarification. I didn't mention the schools but did spell out what we were told & the confusion. The response I got - clearly written by an actual person - was to ask the schools for guidance. I went back and forth with them but bottom line: they refused to tell me what their own damn rules were. Completely useless.


The LHSAA only deals with school administration, not with parents.

It's a long-standing policy... and a good one.

what I want to know is does that apply if a kid is otherwise not supposed to be there?



Yes, the LHSAA doesn't enforce district attendance rules; that is the school district's purview..

quote:

And what happens if a zoned public school refuses to enforce its zone?


That is a district issue, not an LHSAA issue.

quote:

My next idea would be a rule where no select school may turn in a nonselect school over kids that don’t live in the zone…


Again, not an LHSAA issue.


And this already happens all the time.
quote:

so should be able to declare a school out of attendance zone if out of zone is approved, am i reading that right Antonio?



“Out of zone approved” isn’t an LHSAA thing; it’s a school district thing so I would not frame it like that.

Any incoming 9th grader can enroll in any LHSAA school and will have full eligibility. So they can go to private, charter, in-zone, out-of-zone, doesn’t matter. They will have full eligibility from day one.

This is how it is in most states. Rules regarding residency restrictions only apply for subsequent transfers.
One of the biggest issues the LHSAA is dealing with right now is behavior at basketball games. Allowing CECP head coaches who are marginally attached to the school would exacerbate that problem.
quote:

they also voted down the proposed rule to allow basketball coaches to not have to be school employees, which I also think is shortsighted and hurts the kids overall in the coaching department.
