📢 Attention all! State legislators have ordered an audit of the Department of Public Instruction's educator misconduct investigations following a series of reports from the Cap Times. The department, led by Superintendent Jill Underly, has been accused of mishandling cases, using a basic Google spreadsheet to track investigations, and having only two investigators for an average of 113 cases each year. The audit will examine trends in allegations, investigation duration, policy consistency, evidence gathering, and compare processes to other Midwestern states. Superintendent Underly has since announced a new webpage for transparency and called for legislators to define grooming in state laws and grant subpoena power. Stay tuned as this situation unfolds!
