Van Buren Public Schools

UPDATE on BHS Threat: This incident stemmed from a conversation between students that occurred in December. I am sure that the recent events caused the student to step forward at this time.
We were not able to confirm if the comment was made, however, we understand the magnitude of this situation and are still investigating.
This was a difficult day for many people. The information that I received at 3:15 was accurate and the Men and Women in Blue were outstanding.
We also want to applaud the student that stepped forward with this information and urge others to do the same if they find themselves in a similar situation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
