Bill Moore-Kilgannon, executive director of Public Interest Alberta, questioned whether this temporary school and gymnasium in a well-off neighbourhood that already has excess classroom capacity was anywhere near the top of the CBE’s list of capital priorities, let alone those of any of the province’s other school districts.

“It would seem that those Albertans with the strongest political ties and the deepest pockets are first in line for temporary school facilities,” said Moore-Kilgannon, “while students elsewhere in the province with a desperate need for permanent schools are forced to wait.”

By comparison, more than 750 children in Wildrose leader Danielle Smith’s constituency of High River, where two schools were also badly damaged by last summer’s high waters, will be housed at portables on two sites and share a single gymnasium.
