At the October 5th District 220 Board meeting, Board members heard an update from the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to encourage curiosity, inspire students’ passion for learning and career exploration, and provide enriching opportunities through private funding.
Since it was formed in 1999, the Foundation has granted more than $3.8 million to fund many projects across Barrington 220. Some of those projects include:
The Foundation’s latest major project is the Barrington Horticultural Sciences initiative, which will expand the horticultural sciences curriculum by providing funds to renovate the existing greenhouse at BHS and update existing equipment and supplies. Work will occur throughout the 21-22 school year. You can listen to the presentation beginning at 12:34 in the Board meeting video.
