MILWAUKEE – The two remaining candidates for Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction squared off Thursday ahead of the only statewide race in the April 6 spring election.
Deborah Kerr, a retired superintendent most recently in Brown Deer, advanced from the February 15 primary along with Jill Underly, the current superintendent for the Pecatonica Area School District.
The Greater Milwaukee Committee hosted the virtual candidate forum Thursday via Zoom. Alan Borsuk, a senior fellow in law and public policy at Marquette, moderated the hourlong discussion.
Predictably, both candidates said returning Wisconsin students to the classroom is their top priority.
“As a parent and as an educator, of course I’m worried about this past year,” Underly said. “I’m more concerned with their mental health, their isolation, their anxiety and how we can help them recover from those feelings.”
