The NWT government says findings from an investigation into the Dehcho Divisional Education Council and its district education authorities should be made public in early October.
While the review was initially set to be concluded by the end of August, the investigation is ongoing, a spokesperson for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment said.
“The investigator is actively engaging with participants and partners in the education system in the Dehcho region, including the DDEC and all community DEAs,” said ECE spokesperson Agata Gutkowska in an email to Cabin Radio, using initialisms for the divisional education council and its district authorities.
The review was launched in June after the NWT’s education minister, Caitlin Cleveland, heard “serious concerns from parents, educators, community members and education partners in the Dehcho.”
Range Lake MLA Kieron Testart, following a visit to Fort Simpson, told the NWT legislature parents had complained of “mishandling of a critical incident, leadership failures and inaction, misinformation and inconsistent communication, alleged retaliation and abuse of authority.”
