Coquille SD 8 board adopts $26,686,760 budget, sets permanent tax rate at 4.2522

The Coquille SD 8 Board of Directors voted to adopt the 2026–27 budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, approving a total appropriation of $26,686,760 and setting the district’s permanent property-tax rate for general fund operations at $4.2522 per $1,000 of assessed value. The motion to adopt the budget was made from the board floor and the chair called the vote; the board recorded the motion and the vote as approved.

The motion to approve the budget was introduced by a board member and recorded by the chair as a motion by Marsha with a second by Kayla. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript; the chair confirmed the motion passed by voice vote. The board had opened and closed a public-comment period for the budget earlier in the meeting but no public speakers were recorded during that window.

The board’s adoption follows staff presentations earlier in the meeting about enrollment and projected revenues. The superintendent had noted an enrollment decline that will trigger a state adjustment and reduce next year’s potential revenue by $179,000; board members discussed routine agenda items before completing the budget action.
