The Barrington 220 school board has scheduled five community “information” meetings and three open houses in coming weeks to inform the community about the school district referendum question on the March 17 primary election ballot.
The district is seeking voter approval to borrow $147 million for improvements at all schools in areas such as safety and security, plumbing, electrical, roofing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Proposed work also includes construction of a physical education and wellness center at Barrington High School, additional classrooms at the district’s two middle schools, and new classroom space at all elementary buildings for science, technology, engineering and mathematics classes, as well as students with special needs.
The community information meetings are scheduled for:
- Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020: 7 PM at Lines Elementary
- Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020: 7 PM at Sunny Hill Elementary
- Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020: 9:30 AM at Barrington High School
- Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020: 9:30 AM at BMS-Station Campus
- Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020: 7 PM at North Barrington Elementary
Open houses are set for:
- Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020: 7 PM at Grove Avenue Elementary
- Wednesday, March 4, 2020: 7 PM at BMS-Prairie Campus
- Thursday, March 5, 2020: 7 PM at Barrington High School
We will be publishing copies of their draft presentations when they become available once the paid consultants (see “District 220 hires former state lawmaker’s firm to help with referendum”) finish honing their spin.
