To the Indian River Community:

On behalf of the Board of Education and administration, thank you for your ongoing support for IRCSD’s instructional programming and services. We take great pride in how our Indian River student body, our faculty and staff, and our community have responded and grown through the challenges of the past years. The Mission of IRCSD is to ‘provide an equitable and inclusive education where all students are empowered to realize and achieve their full potential,’ and the proposed budget forwarded that sentiment into the future.  Our current environment is one that we couldn’t have envisioned and one that has certainly presented unique challenges, though we have all witnessed our students and staff rise to each challenge and as a community, we have come together to support each other and persevere. We could not be more proud of our school system! Thank you for your ongoing support!
