I say go ahead and do what Alberta does.
If the demand is great enough for these schools, let them set up their own school board, and allow tax payers to choose to support whichever system they choose.
If demand isn't great enought, then treat them like any other private school and give the the same funding those schools would receive (if any). If there is enough public demand to support an additional school board, then go ahead.

Debates like this always make me laugh, people say things like:
How do you feel about public tax dollars funding a Catholic School system that the tax payer may not necessarily support.
Well in Alberta, we choose who to support, and there are clearly a large number of parents who choose to send their children to these schools.

It's like any other Government program. If the demand/public support is there, then go ahead.
