“This is temporary,” he said. “Today, under the direction of the provincial health officer, we are directing all schools to immediately suspend in-class instruction.”He said every student will receive a final mark, and all students due to graduate this year will graduate. “We don’t have all the answers today, this is a fast-moving situation.”
In a departure from other province who have closed schools or suspended classes for two or three weeks, Alberta took the extraordinary measure of canceling classes in its public schools indefinitely. “If we do make the decision to close schools, it will be considering long-term closure. This pandemic will not end in a matter of weeks and there won't be a clear opportunity to reopen schools, likely not until September at the earliest,” Dr. Hinshaw said.
