  Separate school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A separate school is a publicly funded school which includes religious education in its curriculum, as opposed to a private school or public school.
Protection of the Separate School system was a major issue of contention in the negotiations that led to Canadian confederation.
The ending of public support for separate schools in the latter province in the 1890s prompted a national crisis known as the Manitoba Schools Question, and led to Pope Leo XIII's papal encyclical Affari Vos.

 wcr:11/26/2001 -- ACSTA buoyed by School Act changes
While that process ensures that members of the minority faith can form a separate school district, Catholic school supporters have found it cumbersome and outdated, particularly as it restricts the size of a separate school district to an area four miles square (4x4).
But the new act provides an alternative to that formation process by allowing the minister to expand the boundaries of a separate school district to reflect the service area of the district, contingent on agreement by public and separate boards in the area.
The focus on communication between public and separate school boards is the most positive aspect of the new processes, he told trustees, adding that his goal was to find a way to expand the boundaries of separate school districts with minimal conflict.

 Alliance for the Separation of School & State   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
With the media attention to test scores of schools, districts, and states—and politicians sensing that "education is a hot issue"—school leaders have developed a mania for looking good on tests.
But for over a century, American school leaders have more and more focused on "career skills" and for over a half-century, on "life adjustment" or "social skills" as the ultimate goal for their students.
Separation of school and state applies to schooling the approach Americans have used for churching: Government doesn't run, compel, or finance Sunday School.

At École Maurice Lavallée, French is the language of instruction and administration, the personnel are all Francophone, and the stated aim of the school is "to primarily reflect the cultural heritage of the French linguistic minority in Alberta." The government emphasized in its argument that the school is not a French immersion school.
Historically, separate or denominational boards have been the principal bulwarks of minority language education in the absence of any provision for minority representation and authority within public or common school boards.
The administration of minority-language schools at the level of the provincial department of Education must be differentiated from the administration of the majority schools, but it should not be completely separated.

 88.01.03: School Desegregation and Prejudice in the United States
However, community support of school desegregation as well as the attitudinal makeup of the individual and the influence of his family and peers are important factors that influence whether or not a child feels a sense of power.
A child’s self esteem is not effectively raised by attendance at a racially mixed school with a poor reputation, nor is it raised by attendance at a high status school where the child is looked down upon.
Schools that are racially mixed and are located in naturally desegregated neighborhoods foster and heighten a child’s self esteem.

 wcr:02/05/01 -- Twin Brooks public school buoys hope for separate school
Edmonton's Catholic school board is reacting positively to news of government funding for a new public school in Edmonton's Twin Brooks subdivision.
With students and staff from both the Catholic and public schools sharing the building to that extent, a strong Catholic identity could not be preserved, according to the board.
While the public school district's rate is now around 69 per cent, Alberta Infrastructure spokesperson Eileen McDonald says the board received funding for a new school anyway, "in recognition of the board's efforts to reduce surplus school space, and as an incentive to the board to look at further ways of reducing surplus space."

 Sponsor Statement for HB 197: Equitable School Funding
At least one school district defines charter schools as "alternative schools" to determine the amount of state aid flowing into that district.
The effect is that a charter school can have a larger or smaller budget depending on the community and school district in which they happen to exist.
Because charter schools tend to be smaller than other public schools, the cost and amount generated by charter school students is higher, as reflected in the fiscal note.
