Eirios Hall, headteacher of Ardwyn Nursery and Infants School, in Welshpool, left her post in February last year pending the outcome of an investigation by Powys County Council.
But parents have become concerned about the length of Mrs Hall's suspension, with many fearing that her absence is having an impact on the Welsh language culture of the school.
A letter has been sent out to all parents by the school's governing body in an attempt to allay any fears.
In the letter, Councillor John Meredith, chairman of governors at the school, said: "I can confirm the independent investigators appointed to carry out the investigation into allegations against Mrs Hall have now concluded.
"Their report has been sent to Powys County Council and will be considered by a panel of governors in the next couple of weeks. Once this report has been received and considered it will then be appropriate for governors to decide if there is a case to answer.
"If it is decided there will be a case to answer, then a formal disciplinary hearing will be required, which we would hope would be completed by the end of spring term at the latest."
