Nothing is more important than ensuring the well-being and safety of students, according to a statement from Sun Prairie Area School District officials. On July 24, 2025, the Sun Prairie Police Department arrested and charged former Sun Prairie West High School employee Robert Gilkey-Meisegeier.

"We are deeply concerned and unsettled by this development," stated district officials. They emphasized that if the allegations leading to the arrest are true, such actions could undermine efforts to create a safe environment for students. The district assured continued cooperation with law enforcement to understand the situation fully.

The district confirmed that Robert Gilkey-Meisegeier was terminated on June 9, 2025. Administrators have been cooperating with police during their investigation into his conduct.
