Join us at Barrington High School (lower front atrium) on Monday, Sept. 9 to learn more about the $64M referendum and take a tour of the current auditorium, music classrooms, and fine arts classrooms.
At the August 13 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board unanimously voted to proceed with a referendum seeking voter approval to address safety, security, and instructional needs at our schools, as well as build a new community auditorium at Barrington High School.
At the August 13 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board unanimously voted to proceed with a referendum seeking voter approval to address safety, security, and instructional needs at our schools, as well as build a new community auditorium at Barrington High School.
More than 2,500 community members collaborated throughout 2024 on a plan to address these challenges. The district then worked to make that plan even more efficient and fiscally responsible, saving taxpayers $11.5 million.
The final $64 million community-driven plan would cost the average district household an additional $236 per year. This plan will now go to the community for final approval in the upcoming November 5, 2024 election.
If successful, the referendum will:
- Increase Safety & Security throughout Barrington 220
- Build a New Community Auditorium at Barrington High School
- Enhance STEAM and Instructional Spaces for Students
The community's plan for the future of our schools would ensure all Barrington 220 students have access to the quality education they deserve. It would allow us to alleviate safety concerns, address accessibility, improve programming, and increase opportunities for all our students. We could better protect the community's investment in our buildings and safely support the community's desire to use our high school for more events. All of this leads to an even higher quality school district, which leads to higher property values for our residents, and a stronger community.

Pursuant to School Board Policy 2:150, the Board of Education may establish committees to assist with the Board's governance function and, in some situations, to comply with state law requirements. Each committee reports directly to the Board of Education. Committee members may include both Board Members and non-Board Members depending on the committee's purpose. Committee appointments are made at the organization meeting of the Board that is held following the consolidated election in April of odd numbered years. Committee meetings are typically held once per month. The purpose of the Policy Committee is to review existing policies, recommend changes where necessary, and propose new policies for consideration by the Board.
