As part of the operational authority, the Superintendent presented the relocation or co-location of the following schools: Vero Beach High School (moving the Vero Beach Freshman Learning Center to unite with the main Vero Beach High School campus), Oslo Middle School (relocation to the current Vero Beach High School Freshman Learning Center facility), Osceola Magnet K-8 School (relocation to the current Oslo Middle School facility), Rosewood Magnet School (relocation to the current Storm Grove Middle School facility), Sebastian Elementary School of the Arts (co-location to the current Sebastian Middle School facility), and IR Prep (co-location to the current Treasure Coast Technical College).
