Ty Mathews, Ohio House District 83 Representative, visited Van Buren today to meet with village mayor Ed May and superintendent Dr. Jason Inkrott to discuss ways he can assist the excellent students, staff, and community of Van Buren Local School District.
We appreciate Representative Mathews advocating on behalf of our school and community!

When you are attending Legally Blonde The Musical this weekend, you will notice that the remodeling of the fine arts/auditorium bathrooms is complete. A fresh coat of paint, new lights, new vanities, new faucets, and new automatic flush valves will improve the experience of everyone both during the school day and at events.
Thank you to Legacy Marble and Granite for partnering with us to make these improvements possible at a very low cost. Casey Morman, Maintenance and Facilities Supervisor, and his team did most of the work in-house, and we appreciate their hard work to produce the outstanding finished product.
