Board of Education

Barrington 220, along with the Board of Education, will hold the last of five Community Information Meetings tonight at 7pm at North Barrington Elementary. There will be a short presentation, followed by the opportunity for Q&A, in order to inform the community about the upcoming school district referendum question on the March 17 primary election ballot.

In addition, there will be three Open Houses (School Tours). During the Open Houses, community members will be able to take a tour of the designated school, to view the facility needs at that building.

At the Feb. 18 meeting, the Board voted to extend its contract with Barrington Transportation Company, which operates all Barrington 220 school buses. The extended two year contract includes a 3% increase for FY21 and a CPI increase for FY22 (no higher than 3.5% and no lower than 2%). The increase is driven by the costs of labor, liability insurance and vehicles.

At the Feb. 18 meeting, the Board and members of the public had a chance to view art work created by BMS-Prairie and BMS-Station students in the extended art program. The 2D and 3D pieces are a sampling of more than 200 works that were featured in the Clair E. Smith Gallery at BHS last month. Painting by Anna Pfannenstiel.
