Iqaluit education authority creates media policy

After months of withholding public documents from the media, the Iqaluit District Education Authority approved temporary guidelines of what reporters are allowed to see.

After the May 17 decision, reporters and other members of the public have access to minutes from previous meetings, some memos, and select correspondence.

Documents related to the authority’s employees, disciplinary issues at schools, legal advice, and correspondence marked as “personal,” will be withheld.
