All Alberta K-12 students will return to their classrooms next week, except those in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, says the province's education minister. LaGrange said the government has been tracking the number of students and staff who tested positive or were self-isolating before classrooms were shuttered compared to the last two weeks. There were more than 6,000 positive cases among students and staff before the shutdown, versus just over 1,000 now, she said. Calgary's public and Catholic schools moved all students in junior and senior high school to online learning on April 19. The province then announced on May 4 that all K-12 classrooms across Alberta would close for at least two weeks.
