The Auditor General’s report on the Langley School District and its financial troubles is done but won’t be made public yet.

Education Minister Margaret McDiarmid said it will be put to the school district to release the report.

The district hired the AG’s office to be its auditor after ongoing financial problems that culminated in a combined debt and deficit of more than $13 million by the end of the school year in June.

“I have read the report,” McDiarmid said. “That report is not going to be publicly released until the fall.”

The local district has hired the AG’s office as its auditor for the next few years and has received provincial government permission for its plan to cut its debt over the coming four years.

The school year resumes Sept. 7 and the first public school board meeting of the new school year is Sept. 21.
