The real question you and all the 'anti-Catholic school board' people should be asking is:
"Why is an organization associated with one of the most inept and incompetent organizations the World has ever known better run than the Public Education system?"
I side with the Teachers, but lets not pretend that their Administration plays no part in where they are now.

As a man with no children, i could be wrong here, but does it have something to do with public education reach vs. catholic school.
I grew up in a small town (15-20 graduates a year) that was 20km away from a bigger town (150-200 graduates in public/catholic HS's).
My town had a public k-12 system over two schools (1-6 and 9-12). The Catholic system in my town went from K-9 then were bussed to the bigger town for HS.
It seems to me, by cursory review, that most small towns have a great concentration of public schools vs catholic schools.
I don't know if there is anything in provincial mandates or regulations that require k-12 to be a closer distance to kids vs catholic?
This would certainly add alot to overhead, administration etc.
