What Brookings-Harbor School District does

Brookings-Harbor School District 17C is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 629 Easy Street, Brookings, Curry County, Oregon. The district serves the Brookings-Harbor community through four schools: Kalmiopsis Elementary School (grades K-5, 650 Easy Street), Azalea Middle School (grades 6-8, 505 Pacific Avenue), Brookings-Harbor High School (grades 9-12, 629 Easy Street), and the Brookings-Harbor Online Academy (BHOA), which delivers online learning for grades 6-12. Brookings-Harbor operates as a government state entity under Oregon education law, governed by an elected five-member School Board chaired by Jay Trost and led by Superintendent Helena Chirinian (in her third year as of mid-2026). Enrollment runs through the PowerSchool parent portal, and families receive communications through the ParentSquare platform, which supports email, text, mobile app, and web delivery with automatic language translation.

The district's revenue model is entirely government-funded. Funding flows from a combination of Oregon state per-pupil allocations, local property tax revenues, and federal grants including Title I, IDEA, ESSER, and USDA nutrition program reimbursements. Brookings-Harbor operates with 51-100 employees and provides free K-12 public education with no-cost basic school supplies, plus free breakfast and lunch for all students in 2026-27. Supplementary programs include Title I academic support at Kalmiopsis Elementary, a Talented & Gifted (TAG) program K-12, English Language Development (ELD) services, McKinney-Vento homeless student services, foster child services, mental health resources including CrisisTextLine and 988 Lifeline partnerships, SafeOregon anonymous tip line, school garden programs, and interscholastic athletics. The Brookings-Harbor Online Academy partners with Graduation Alliance and Subject.com for online curriculum delivery, with the K-5 online strand discontinued for 2026-27 due to budget constraints. The Summer Food Program extends USDA-funded meal service to children ages 1-18 via the mobile BOB Bus, including cross-county delivery into Del Norte County, California. The district's technology stack is built on third-party platforms — PowerSchool for student information, ParentSquare for communications, MyMealtime for food services, Boardbook for meeting management, and Subject.com for online learning — with no proprietary technology development and no public-facing developer API.
