Good morning @CMOH_Alberta. I was a little concerned about your class size remarks in regards to high schools yesterday. DYK The CBC put out some excellent class size data from Alberta recently? #abed #AbLeg https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-class-size-data-2020-covid-19-back-to-school-1.5682575
Here are the most recent class sizes for every public, separate and charter school in Alberta | CBC...

As students prepare to return to school in the age of COVID-19, class sizes have taken on a new meaning, but the Alberta government is no longer publishing up-to-date class-size data.

Did you also know that it’s likely to be MORE overcrowded heading into 2020-21 b/c of funding reductions, grant eliminations, and program cuts due to reductions in other gov’t departments that impact schools? Anyway, I digress...
A number of school boards have noted that distancing will be impossible. EPSB is one: https://twitter.com/bridgetstirling/status/1291207684247531521
RVSD is another (page 6): https://www.rockyview.ab.ca/school-re-entry-plan/scenario-one

1000s of teachers and parents KNOW that high schools in urban areas are overcrowded and over capacity. https://twitter.com/chadmsaunders/status/1293921749541597188
The ATA knows this, too. https://twitter.com/philmcrae/status/1294031285573136385
And the Opposition has been lifting up and amplifying teacher and parent voices. https://twitter.com/rachelnotley/status/1295027606526373889
So, if formal concerns haven’t been reported to you by @AdrianaLaGrange, or you prefer to deflect that responsibility back on to her, maybe it’s time to gather some data of your own and ask her what’s being withheld? Our safety depends on it. #VeryWorriedAB #SafeSeptemberAB
