MADISON — Wisconsin state Superintendent Tony Evers is upset with Gov. Scott Walker over an education reform bill they worked on together but that doesn't place charter and private voucher schools under a new accountability system.

Evers said the bill misses an opportunity to deliver on promises made by Walker, legislators and education leaders, including advocates for charter and private voucher schools.

"While everyone claimed that we were creating this system together, it seems as if some have walked away," Evers said in a statement.
