What School District Of Indian River County does

School District of Indian River County (SDIRC) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Vero Beach, Florida, operating under Florida state law as a government entity governed by a five-member elected School Board and led by Superintendent Dr. David K. Moore. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across Indian River County through 24 traditional public schools, Early Learning classrooms, Indian River Virtual online schooling, charter school authorizations, and Extended Day before/after-school care. Core academic offerings include Career & Technical Education pathways, dual enrollment with Indian River State College and the University of Florida, Embry-Riddle aerospace courses, Exceptional Student Education services, and the district's nationally recognized Moonshot literacy initiative.

SDIRC runs a digital infrastructure stack anchored by Apptegy CMS for its public website, FOCUS Student Information System, ClassLink single sign-on, Canvas LMS, Edgenuity, Power BI analytics, and LINQ Connect for meal program administration, with data privacy governed through Student Data Privacy Consortium agreements. The district's IGNITE 2027 strategic plan organizes priorities across three pillars: Connected by Community, Fueled by Innovation, and Driven by Leadership.

As a public entity, SDIRC does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through a combination of Florida Department of Education state allocations, local property taxes, and federal grants, with K-12 educational services provided free of charge to district residents. Ancillary service revenue comes from Food & Nutrition Services (approximately 2.3 million meals served annually at $3.00 or less), before/after-school Extended Day programs, and charter school authorizer oversight. SDIRC has earned four consecutive A district grades from the Florida Department of Education, ranks among Florida's Top Five highest-performing districts, holds eight Top 10 statewide academic rankings, and was named #1 Best Place to Teach in Florida by Niche.
