Barrington School District 220 officials plan to have two major safety upgrades completed by the start of the upcoming school year, according to a recent newsletter from the district.
Construction has begun on installation of a secure vestibule at an entrance of Barrington High School. It is being built at Entrance 45 of the school, which is to the lower left side of the main entrance, the newsletter states.
School officials say in the newsletter that students and visitors will only be allowed to use that entrance once the school day starts.
Over the past couple of years, the district has been implementing the secure vestibules at each of its 12 schools. The high school is the last to receive it, said Assistant Superintendent Craig Winkelman.
