The Van Buren School District Transportation Department is committed to safely transporting students to and from campuses. Our drivers work cooperatively with families and school leaders to help ensure students arrive securely and ready to learn each day.

Routes

Students living more than one (1) mile from their school and students living in a dangerous or high traffic area have access to bus transportation to and from school. VBSD buses are routed to provide the best service for the greatest number of students. Bus routes are planned to get within one (1) mile of the home location of each student if factors permit.

All VBSD buses will be driven by a VBSD employee who holds a current Commercial Driver's License. The drivers have the same authority on the buses that teachers have on the school campus. Pupils are under the supervision of the bus drivers and are responsible to the driver for their conduct. As the buses will run as nearly on schedule as possible, students are urged to be ready and on time.

Attendance Area Exception

VBSD students attending a school outside their designated zone (following approval through an Attendance Area Exception application) will NOT be provided bus transportation by the District before and after school. Parents MUST provide transportation to and from school.
