Brian Battle
Two veteran Barrington Area Unit District 220 board members who didn’t seek re-election last month said farewell Tuesday night.
District 220 board President Brian Battle wrapped up a 16-year career as an elected official there, while Joseph Ruffolo ended an eight-year tenure.
At 12 years, Battle was the longest-serving board president in District 220 history, Superintendent Brian Harris said. In recognition of Battle’s record, a new board room will be named in his honor and a plaque hung in the soon-to-open district headquarters in a renovated office building across the street from Barrington High School.
“It’s been an honor to serve the Barrington community as a board member,” said Battle, a Barrington resident who is managing partner at Great Lakes Capital. “It’s often been said, right, the community gives the school board responsibility for two things that are pretty important to them, right: their money and their kids.”
