Home school shut down amid allegations of misspending takes Alberta to court
EDMONTON — Two agencies overseeing thousands of home-schooled children in Alberta are asking a court to reverse the province’s decision to pull funding and accreditation over allegations of misspending.
Trinity Christian School Association and the Wisdom Home Schooling Society say in a court application that they have done nothing wrong.
They say the province OKed their finances for years, and the decision to pull the plug last week came with no notice and no chance to tell their side of the story.
“The closure has already caused enormous stress, anxiety, hardship and uncertainty to 3,500 students and their parents,” says the application filed in Grande Prairie Court of Queen’s Bench on Tuesday.
