The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) conducts formal investigations of licensed educators based on information received by the DPI that alleges immoral conduct on the part of the licensed educator.
This information is typically received by the DPI from three primary sources:
- Written reports from school districts as Mandatory School District Reporting of Educator Misconduct
- Complaints from citizens/parents
- News/media reports
Reports or referrals on educator misconduct should be directed to DPI via email and include the educator's full name, educator's entity number (if known), what misconduct you are reporting, and your contact information so the department may follow up with you directly.
