A culture-based private school will build on a surplus school site in southeast Edmonton after council s executive committee agreed to the move, recommended by administration, on Monday.
The city will sell the three-acre parcel in Kiniski Gardens to the Headway School Society of Alberta for $2.5 million. The site is at the corner of 38th Street and 38th Avenue.
Public interest groups and Edmonton Public School Board oppose the city selling the site to a private entity.
The current Headway School, in Forest Heights, offers a Punjabi language course and accommodates about 370 students. Most students live in Mill Woods and spend about an hour on a bus each way.
EDMONTON As students in Alberta prepare to return to classrooms for in-person learning Monday, the province s teachers union is calling for smaller class sizes and more support for principals, who have been acting as contact tracers in schools. Alberta students have been taking classes online all week, including junior high and high school students, who have been learning from home since the end of November. My concern about a return to class on Monday is we are basically putting students and teachers back in the same situation they left from and the government has made no efforts to ensure the return to school plan has been improved, amplified or strengthened, said Alberta Teachers Association president Jason Schilling.
