Today, over one hundred seventy years later, the VBPS district is composed of six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. The Van Buren Public Schools buildings and staff operate under the direction of a seven-member elected Board of Education. The Board meets on the second and fourth Mondays of every month to set goals and establish policy for the district, emphasizing a quality education for every student. The Superintendent is Larry Tabor, assisted by a Director of Business, Director of Instruction, and a Manager of Employee Relations and Personnel. There are fifteen school administrators and five program supervisors.
Every effort is made to serve the needs of all students.
Van Buren Public Schools employ 358 certified staff members, including school psychologists, school social workers, learning specialists, speech and language therapists, resource classroom teachers, and homebound or hospitalized services.
