Alberta’s NDP Official Opposition is calling on Education Minister Adriana LaGrange to quit delaying the distribution of federal money to school boards and distribute it immediately through the per-pupil grant.

LaGrange’s office stated they would be meeting with some stakeholders on Wednesday - a full week after the federal funding was announced - to discuss how the money would be spent.
“Minister LaGrange needs to quit stalling. We still don’t have any details on how the money will be spent and they are only starting to talk about it a week after the money was announced."
- @shoffmanAB, NDP Education Critic
The quickest and easiest way to get this money out the door is to simply apply it to the per-pupil grant and get out of the way of school districts.
Last Wednesday, the federal government announced $2-billion in new funding for school re-entry, including $262 million for Alberta. The Ontario government released a detailed plan for its share of the funding the same day.
