EDMONTON --
Edmonton Public Schools is the latest Alberta school division to publicly state it will not pilot the draft kindergarten to Grade 6 curriculum during the 2021-22 school year.
Superintendent Darrel Robertson said the decision was based on "the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic."
"Our Division is offering family choice for in-person and online learning in the first half of the 2021-22 school year," Robertson said in a written statement.
"To ensure continuity of learning as we look towards a potential return to in-person instruction for the second half of the year, we need to ensure the same curriculum is being used Division-wide for both our online and in-person students."
