Barrington 220 Seeks November Referendum

At the August 13, 2024 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board unanimously voted to proceed with a referendum seeking voter approval to address safety, security, and instructional needs at district schools, as well as build a new community auditorium at Barrington High School.

More than 2,500 community members collaborated throughout 2024 on a plan to address these challenges. The district then worked to “make that plan even more efficient and fiscally responsible, saving taxpayers $11.5 million,” according to an e-mail blast from the District.

The final $64 million community-driven plan would cost the average district household an additional $236 per year. This plan will now go to the community for final approval in the upcoming November 5, 2024 election.

If successful, the referendum would:

• Increase Safety & Security throughout Barrington 220

• Build a New Community Auditorium at Barrington High School

• Enhance STEAM and Instructional Spaces for Students

The district hosted several community meetings in September 2024 where the community could voice their thoughts and ask questions.
