The unofficial results are in and Issue 8 has passed! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for voting yes for our kids, our community, and our future! The voter turnout far exceeded our previous elections. We thank you for your trust in Van Buren! #SuccessForVBS
Polls are OPEN! If you have not voted, get to the polls today! successforvbs.com #SuccessforVBS
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT FAILS? To put it in perspective using the graphic below, we only have 17 buses and 9 custodians. Cutting all transportation would only results in a reduction of 45% of the cuts needed, should the levy fail. successforvbs.com #SuccessForVBS
Did you request an absentee ballot? Return it today! PLEASE return your ballot directly to the Board of Elections to ensure it arrives in time! successforvbs.com #SuccessForVBS

The staff members of Van Buren Local Schools are passionate about our kids, our community, and our future. Hear what they have to say about the levy! youtu.be/K8j27BJ5Nms #SuccessforVBS successforvbs.com
If the levy fails, the district will need to make $1.275 million in reductions. This amount of cuts could make the district unrecognizable. successforvbs.com #SuccessforVBS
How can we fix the amount of revenue from the state? See the answer below from the Ohio Performance Team. successforvbs.com #successforvbs
The specific cuts and losses have not yet been outlined by the BOE if this levy fails. However, the cut list may include the same positions as listed during the March 2020 levy. Please see the excerpt from the BOE sent on 1/15/20 regarding the scenario. successforvbs.com
Why is Van Buren deficit spending? Since 2011, federal funding per pupil has decreased by 40%. These losses must be absorbed by the district’s general fund to cover mandated services, shifting the school funding burden to local taxpayers. successforvbs.com #successforvbs
If this levy does not pass all current programs and activities of the district will be in danger of being reduced. successforvbs.com #successforvbs
Why do the Van Buren Local Schools need a levy? The current property tax is set to expire without the renewal of this levy. The 4-year levy will be used for operating expenses within the district. successforvbs.com #successforvbs
The performance audit revealed our district's spending is in line with similar sized districts. The difference is in the amount of revenue coming into our district. successforvbs.com #successforvbs
Van Buren is lucky to have graduates come back and work at the school and in our community. They also send their kids to VB, and work hard to make sure the school & community succeed to give future generations the Black Knight experience! #successforvbs successforvbs.com
How can we change our state funding revenue? In short...we can't. According to the Ohio Performance Team, there are 2 ways to change the amount of funding we receive from the state--lower our property values or rewrite the state funding formula. #SuccessforVBS
