# Verona Area School District Board of Education Meeting November 2, 2026

The Verona Area School District Board of Education meeting on November 2, 2026, included a procurement decision on a rooftop solar array for the high school. Following an RFP that received responses from four contractors, the board approved the proposed purchase from Midwest Solar. The approximately 195-kilowatt project is priced at just over $404,000. The district had budgeted $300,000, while Sustain Verona reported approximately $115,000 in contributions from 98 donors; federal tax credits and other rebates are expected to reduce the district’s eventual net investment to roughly $150,000. The project is planned for summer construction, with completion targeted by August 15, 2027, and an estimated payback period of about 10 years for the full project. The board also discussed using the array’s production data for student learning; a possible expansion would be considered separately after the initial project is completed.

The board reviewed a draft 2027–28 school calendar, including three professional-development days and virtual learning for grades 6–12 on those days, but no calendar vote was reported. The meeting also included student and community recognitions and routine board updates; no other procurement actions were identified.
