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, 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. 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. Another such agreement was signed in 2022.

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.
