What happened to the Sanikiluaq DEA’s money?

I almost missed the postage stamp sized story on the Sanikiluaq District Education Authority. I’d like to know what took the GN so long to help.

The current DEA and school staff have performed nothing short of a miracle by being open this year. The GN has known since the beginning of the school year that the school was bankrupt.

And they knew that the $38,000 they gave the DEA in September would not help them out of the deep hole they were in.

What was the school expected to do for the rest of the year? Local businesses owed thousands of dollars have gone unpaid all year. The school year is almost over. My kids needed books months ago!

Also missing from your story was to point out that the overspending happened last year. It had to. The school hasn’t had any money to overspend this year.

Why has nobody been arrested?

If nothing else, the GN has used Sanikiluaq to prove that incompetence and potential thievery are a dangerous combination.
