Private schools shouldn't get any public money, or at the very least should get far less than they do in Alberta.

Danielle Smith was most recently advocating following the model being deployed in Arizona, whereby each student gets the
same funding (voucher) regardless of what type of school they attend, including private.
As it stands, private school students in Alberta get 70% of the funding that public and Catholic board students receive (~$7500 vs. ~$11,000 per student)
If anything, under Smith, either public school students will see less funding, or private school students will see more (unlikely)... At the end of the day, her plan for a voucher system means
equal funding for
all students... that doesn't seem fair.
