Summary

Superintendent Dr. Chamey Clarity and Deputy Superintendent Chad Musi told the Chamber the district is emphasizing equity, safety and operational capacity: they reported diverse enrollment, a high pass rate on AP exams for students who took them, a 17% reported increase in students feeling safe, a restored school resource officer and plans for an accessible Miracle League field and expanded solar capacity.

Dr. Chamey Clarity, superintendent of the Verona Area School District, and Deputy Superintendent Chad Musi used the Chamber forum to summarize academic outcomes, equity work and operational investments in school safety and community collaboration.

Clarity said the district serves students from many municipalities, cited diversity statistics (57 countries and 57 languages represented in the district) and presented academic highlights: he said students at the district’s high school scored a three or higher on 84% of Advanced Placement exams taken by those students. Clarity framed the district's priorities around a strategic framework emphasizing student agency, belonging, wellness and inclusive teaching.

Musi reviewed safety and operations: the district has reinstated a school resource officer (Officer Brad Stoll), adopted the I Love U Guys safety protocol for drills and reunification, and reported a 17% increase in the high‑school student body’s self‑reported sense of safety on an annual survey. Musi said the district is coordinating with local law enforcement and community partners on training and reunification exercises.

Musi also described near‑term community projects: the district is close to executing a lease or agreement to host a Miracle League accessible field developed with the Miracle League of Dane County and partner service groups, and there is an active campaign to install up to $500,000 of solar panels on the high school (the presentation described a plan to reach half $1,000,000 of solar capacity; staff said work is ongoing and a board member is leading the project).

Both speakers credited partnerships with the city, town and local nonprofit groups for programming and facilities. They encouraged continued community engagement as operational and capital projects proceed; no formal district action was taken at the event.
