Jill Underly wins state superintendent election; vows to ensure all schools open in the fall

Voting in tomorrow's election? Here's what to know before you go

Wisconsin voters will see only one statewide election on their ballots tomorrow the race for the state’s new superintendent. Candidates Jill Underly and Deborah Kerr will square off to lead the state’s Department of Public Instruction. That race comes as the state’s schools have weathered a turbulent year, after the pandemic forced districts to pivot to online education last spring. The winner will replace current State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor, whose term will end this July. The race is technically nonpartisan, meaning that neither of the candidates have formally filed with a political party.  But the two candidates have a distinct ideological split, with a strong Republican backing for Kerr and strong Democrat and union support for Underly. The unusual race has been a wild ride, with controversy along the way for both candidates.

By Adam Duxter Apr 4, 2021 9:43 PM MADISON, Wis. – The two candidates to become Wisconsin’s next State Superintendent are making a final campaign push ahead of the April 6 election. While the election itself is non-partisan, the two candidates, Deb Kerr and Jill Underly, don’t see eye to eye on every issue. While both say it’s important to reopen public schools in Wisconsin, Kerr takes a more aggressive approach, saying it’s something she’d mandate. “Our kids and families aren’t winning right now,” said Kerr, who most recently worked as a superintendent in the Brown Deer School District.  “We need to get back into school right away.
