At the Jan. 23 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board discussed the charge for its 2024 Referendum Advisory Committee. Over the next several months, committee members will provide feedback about projects that should be included in a potential referendum question on the November 2024 election ballot. Projects would include significant upgrades to the fine, visual, and performing arts spaces at Barrington High School. They could also possibly include additional projects that would impact all Barrington 220 schools. Early next week the district will send out invitations seeking representation from many stakeholder groups to serve on this nearly 60-member committee.
In addition to feedback from the committee, the district will seek stakeholder feedback about a potential referendum question through phone surveys and public engagement sessions. The district is working with consulting firm EO Sullivan to help guide this community engagement process over the next six months.
If the Board decides to place a referendum question on the November 2024 ballot, it must approve the question in August.
