Neither Ms Madsen nor the Australian Education Union returned calls or messages on Monday from the Examiner.
However, 44 pages of statutory declarations and letters from former staff have been sent to Tasmanian media.

It is believed AEU staff were called to a meeting on Monday morning where it is understood they were told she was leaving for "personal reasons".
Ms Madsen has been the target of complaints from former AEU staff and at least one former executive member.
She took over as AEU manager, which is not elected by members, in 2013 and is believed to be on leave until March 2020.
Ms Madsen, who resigned earlier this year after eight years as president of Unions Tasmania is also a member of the board of superannuation fund Tasplan.
In a letter to Tasplan and provided to the Examiner, Dr Jeffrey Garsed, questioned Ms Madsen's integrity and urged Tasplan to investigate her academic qualifications.
"I urge you to investigate this matter and to take any appropriate action to not only safeguard the interests of Tasplan's members and the company's reputation," Dr Garsed said.
Former AEU executive member Claire Bugg also wrote to AEU president Helen Richardson raising concerns about Ms Madsen's suggestion she had a law degree when the University of Tasmania had confirmed she did not complete a bachelor of laws.
Ms Madsen and Ms Richardson were the subject of no confidence motions against them over the teachers' pay negotiations but the motions were withdrawn.
A Tasplan spokesperson: "In the interests of natural justice, TasPlan does not comment on whether or not a complaint has been received. However, we can assure all members that we do have robust procedures in place should a complaint be received."
Australian Services Union organiser Kath Milbourne said concerns had been raised by AEU staff who were on fixed contracts.
"They were resolved without going to arbitration," she said.
