Congratulations to our friends working in education and our families of kids who have been unable to go to school for so long. We hope the rest of the school boards can come around and end the rest of the strikes quickly. Congrats again Edmonton and Fort Mac!

A group organizing under the name Hold My Hand Alberta is claiming a major victory today in securing an injunction against several ministerial orders. The orders had exempted several school boards from the normal requirement to provide in-person learning—specifically to students with disabilities.

Looks like a justice agreed this ministerial order was discriminatory and granted the emergency injunction. It's almost as if you can't play fast and loose with the educational rights of disabled kids, just because they're disabled.

Looks like it's not just me who thinks this ministerial order is a big deal and we should act accordingly. @holdmyhandab.bsky.social has been working hard to coordinate this. Thanks for all your hard work.

The UCP continues to not care about parents, EA's or the children affected by the strike with the latest being a ministerial order by the education minister saying they can just send kids home OR hire contract staff based on needs. This, instead of just giving EA's a living wage.
