Alberta school boards appreciate federal funding but some ‘disappointed’ by province’s response Education critic Sarah Hoffman said that’s the best way to ensure physical distancing and limiting the potential of a COVID-19 outbreak.To achieve that, she suggested the province creatively source out an inventory of vacant spaces to convert into classrooms.“We have community halls, places of worship, libraries, rec centers throughout the city and province and these spaces weren’t designed to be a school.
We are in unusual times,” Hoffman said.Elementary school teacher Abbey Curzon admitted she’s nervous about managing physical distancing in the classrooms.
