Fort McMurray Catholic School Division (FMCSD) will not pilot the draft K-6 curriculum next fall. All school divisions in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo are now refusing to pilot the draft program. More than 40 Alberta school divisions are also refusing to take part in the pilot program.
In a Friday release, FMCSD said piloting the new curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic would be a “disservice” to staff, students and families.

Multiple Indigenous communities in the RMWB are calling for parents and guardians to remove their students from all Northland School Division schools.
In a statement, Chief of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Allan Adam says they’re encouraging this measure to ensure students, teachers, and staff at the schools are safe from COVID-19.
The region remains the worst in the province when it comes to spread of the virus. Wood Buffalo is averaging nearly 1,500 cases per 100,000 individuals.
“This is not a measure we take lightly but it’s for the good of not just our people, but the whole region,” said Adam.
