Barrington School District 220 administrators have approved executing strategic action plans in response to more than four months of data collection throughout the district.
The data was presented to school board members at the June 7 board meeting, then approved at the June 21 one. At the June 7 meeting, district administrators presented findings and recommendations from 663 meetings with staff and the community, officials said. Board members commended staff for their work and shared minor suggestions on some of the wording describing various district initiatives.
“With any kind of crisis there is opportunity. There were lessons learned during the pandemic and we got feedback from teachers and the community. Our team worked hard on analyzing the data and validated all the conversations,” said SD220 Superintendent Robert Hunt.
Additionally at the June 7 meeting, immediately before the conversation on the strategic Framework220, as the plan is called, the school board awarded Hunt with a one-time, performance bonus of $15,000 for his leadership during his first year with the district.
Melissa Byrne, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning, told the board that administrators visited each of the district’s 12 schools and engaged with staff. They asked how relationships with students and parents have changed, and what was born out of the pandemic that they would like to see continue. The district received 1,500 responses between January and April, officials said.
