2017
Three seats on the Verona Area School District school board were up for at-large general election on April 4, 2017. Portion 1 incumbent Meredith Stier-Christensen and at-large incumbent Russell King won re-election to their respective seats, running unopposed. Incumbent Dennis Beres chose not to seek re-election, and one newcomer filed for and won his Portion 3 seat: Kristina Navarro-Haffner.[1][2]
Both Stier-Christensen and King were appointed to the board in 2016 to replace former board members Joanne Gauthier and Derrell Connor, who both resigned. Gauthier, who represented Portion 1, cited an "overwhelming" time commitment that came with being a board member. Connor, the former at-large representative, moved outside of the district's boundaries. Since Gauthier's term was not set to expire until 2018, Stier-Christensen ran to complete the last year of the term.[3]

Funding
No candidate in this election filed contributions or expenditures, according to the Verona Area School District.[4]
All school board candidates in Wisconsin were required to file a campaign registration statement with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission after qualifying as candidates. This statement declares their candidacy to the county clerk's office and allows them to claim exemption from reporting campaign contributions and expenditures. Candidates were only required to report campaign contributions and expenditures if they did one or both of the following:[5]
- Accepted contributions, made disbursements, or incurred debt in excess of $2,000 during the calendar year
- Accepted more than $100 from a single source during the calendar year, barring contributions made by candidates to their own campaigns
There were three campaign finance report deadlines in 2017:
- The pre-primary report was due February 13, 2017,
- The pre-election report was due March 27, 2017, and
- The post-election report was due July 15, 2017.[6]
Candidates who filed before January 1, 2017, also had to file a continuing campaign finance report on January 16, 2017.[7]
