An Alberta judge has granted an injunction to block a ministerial order that has prevented children with special needs from attending school as a support strike drags on.More than 4,000 support staff, from educational assistants to cafeteria workers, have been on strike since mid-January over a wage dispute with the Edmonton Public School Board.Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides issued an order exempting the board from providing in-person learning to students with complex needs during the strike.
