The territorial government and Dehcho Divisional Education Council are still working on a response to 25 recommendations made in an independent report, a spokesperson says.
The report was the culmination of an investigation into the DDEC and its district education authorities.
That investigation began after the GNWT said it had heard “serious concerns from parents, educators, community members and education partners in the Dehcho.”
In December, Nahendeh MLA Shane Thompson told Cabin Radio he believed the full report should be shared with the DDEC and the DEAs.
Initial findings from the review were released in late October. They included a concern that some DEA members had been continuing in their roles after their terms expired, and that some DEAs hadn’t been aligning elections with local community governments as required.

However, the full investigation report will not be released because of privacy concerns, the GNWT has said.
This week, Department of Education, Culture and Employment spokesperson Agata Gutkowska told Cabin Radio the recommendations included in the report are “focused on governance, administration, working relationships, and education quality across the region.”
While the report’s full contents of the report won’t be made public, Gutkowska said the GNWT and DDEC will release a summary of their response to some 25 recommendations.
That summary will become public “when it’s ready, which could be in the next month or so,” Gutkowska said.
