The Van Buren School District is accepting applications to participate in the School Choice Program for the 2024-2025 school year.
In order for non-resident students to enroll and attend the Van Buren School District, the student’s parent or legal guardian must submit an application, in compliance with the Arkansas Public School Choice Act of 2015, on or before May 1st of the year that the student would begin school during the fall semester. Applications will be considered without regard to gender, national origin, race, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
No application will be approved for a non-resident student that would cause the Van Buren School District to be unable to serve resident students or that would endanger the accreditation of any schools or the district.
Applications can be obtained by calling the Van Buren School District Administration Building at (479) 474-7942. Parents must complete the required form and return the documents to VBSD.
The deadline to apply is May 1, 2024.
Applicants may indicate a school preference, but all assignments will be based on space and program availability. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance or rejection by July 1, 2024. Students who reside out of state or who are currently expelled from school are not eligible for participation.
