Wisconsin to launch public database of revoked educator licenses after misconduct probe.

Wisconsin State Superintendent Jill Underly announced new transparency measures on November 4, 2025, including a public database tracking revoked and surrendered educator licenses, following a Cap Times investigation revealing over 200 misconduct allegations against school staff from 2018 to 2023. She called for clearer laws on educator grooming and to close a private school loophole allowing unlicensed staff to avoid oversight. Lawmakers pressed for reforms, citing inadequate staffing and lack of public data, while some demanded accountability, including calls for her resignation.
