A letter on Van Buren Intermediate School District letterhead dated August 28, 2025, addressed to Van Buren Tech families and students. The letter explains that a temporary student hold was put in place after a weapon was discovered in a vehicle during a routine parking lot sweep. The district states that students and staff were never in danger, the situation was resolved without incident, and the school day returned to normal. The letter reassures families that safety protocols worked as intended and emphasizes that weapons are not allowed on school property. Families are asked to help maintain safety by checking students’ belongings before school. The letter is signed by David D. Manson, VBISD Superintendent.
