An interlocutory injunction has been granted, to come into effect next Thursday, Feb. 27 , to halt a ministerial order by Alberta ’s education minister that gave the Edmonton Public School Board permission to commence at-home learning for select students when support staff went on strike.

The parents said their Charter rights to education are being violated because of a decision made by Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides .

They argued students with learning disabilities have been disproportionately affected.

About 2,000 Edmonton Public Schools educational assistants have been on strike since Jan. 13 .

Most EAs make between $31,000 and $43,000 a year — barely above minimum wage.

The province tried to argue in court the lawsuit should be between the parents and the Board of Trustees of Edmonton School Division , but the judge rejected that argument.
