Alberta should hold referendum on merging Catholic, public school systems, trustee says

The Edmonton Public school board should advocate for one publicly funded school system in Alberta, says one of its trustees.
Alberta should hold a referendum on the issue during the expected 2019 provincial election, Nathan Ip, who represents southwest Edmonton on the school board, said Friday.
He’s contemplating bringing forward a motion in this vein for his board colleagues to vote on.
“Our institutions are meant to evolve. What was acceptable 50 years ago would not be now,”
