An advisory board of parents of children with special needs told the Barrington Unit District 220 school board Tuesday night a new facility in the works for a program that prepares high school graduates of varying abilities to live as independently as possible was inadequate.
The parents suggested parts of the district’s new administration building or the old one as alternatives.

Main St. in Barrington.
