The Brookings-Harbor School District 17C Budget Committee voted unanimously to approve the proposed 2025–26 budget of $33,052,494.66 and to levy a permanent tax rate of $3.2494 per $1,000 in support of the General Fund. Janece Payne moved the budget approval motion, which was seconded by Dona Dotson; the committee recorded a 9-0 vote in favor.
The budget presentation, led by Superintendent Helena Chirinian and Director of Finance Dede Corpening, showed General Fund revenue of $21.68 million and a projected ending fund balance of $1.8 million, down from $2.8 million as the district intentionally tapers reserves toward a 7.5% board policy target. The committee's vote sends the proposed budget to the Brookings-Harbor School District Board of Directors for final adoption at the June 2025 Regular Board Meeting.
