Vermilion Parish School Board

Vermilion Parish School Board (VPSB) is a school district headquartered in Abbeville, Louisiana, United States. It was established in 1876.

The district serves Vermilion Parish, with its official territory matching parish boundaries,[1] and operates most public schools there. However, public schools serving Delcambre are located in Vermilion Parish but are operated by the Iberia Parish School System.[2] The Vermilion Parish district pays money to the Iberia parish district to educate Delcambre students in Vermilion Parish. In 2000 the Iberia Parish district signed an inter-district agreement with the Vermilion Parish district over those payments.[3] Another such agreement was signed in 2022.[4]

Vermilion Parish is headed by Superintendent Jerome Puyau. Puyau's leadership style has been called intimidating and in January 2018 a teacher was handcuffed during a public discussion of his pay raise.[5][6]
