At the very least, Dr. Underly owes the taxpayers of Wisconsin an explanation, but Todd says he thinks it’s time for her to take a step further and

Last week, the Cap Times published an article alleging that over 200 teacher sexual misconduct investigations were hidden from public view. Between this and other stories reported by Wisconsin Public Radio, a shadow of doubt is being cast upon the Department of Public Instruction. State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly has been oddly silent for the past couple of years, declining interviews with Civic Media and other outlets. This topic has been no different.
