From the 220 Pep Squad:
“You’re Invited! Community Engagement Meetings
Beginning this month, the Barrington 220 Board of Education is embarking on a six month (God help us!) community engagement process in order to gain stakeholder feedback about projects that should be included in a potential school district referendum question on the November 2024 election ballot. The Board will collect feedback through three primary methods:
Referendum Advisory Committee
A Referendum Advisory Committee will meet four times from February – July to assist the Board in identifying key components to be included in a potential referendum question. The committee will make a final recommendation to the Board by the June 4, 2024 Board meeting. The final decision of what will be asked on a referendum question rests with the Board.

Community Phone Surveys
Phone surveys will be conducted in March and April to gather community input on funding levels and support for projects to be included in a potential referendum question.
Community Meetings
During the month of March the district will hold four community meetings to collect additional feedback. These meetings will feature a presentation, survey, and an opportunity to ask questions. They are open to the public. Please note that each meeting will have the same agenda.
- Wednesday, March 6: 6pm @ BMS-Prairie Campus
- Saturday, March 9: 10am @ BHS Front Atrium (Lower Level)
- Monday, March 11: 6pm @ Arnett C. Lines Elementary
