Someone please update where and when they are getting signatures. I will for sure support the yes to end private support vote on this.

I think every teacher in Alberta will be collecting signatures for this. Shouldn’t take long!

Genuine question, how is this better for the public education system? Where is the extra 30% per student going to come from for private school students returning to public education? What about capex for facilities and other operational costs that come with having an influx of new students in the public system?

Private schools were already operating and doing just fine before the UCP started funding them.

The physical infrastructure should remain in place with the students in their desks. BUT, under the public school banner and the funding changes that will entail.
