Residents and taxpayers of Barrington School District 220 rated safety and security, and a new auditorium at Barrington High School, as priorities for the school district, officials learned as community input was collected in preparation for a potential multi-million-dollar referendum that would be placed on the ballot in the November election.
“We’ve said from the very beginning that this should be a community-driven plan and we did receive a high level of engagement from a number of participants from our community,” said Superintendent Craig Winkelman. To date, consultants collected 921 community member responses that offered their preferences for SD220 projects – a response rate they considered “among the highest we’ve seen in Illinois,” the firm reported. A total of 396 responses were received from online feedback forms used at the four community engagement sessions and posted on the district’s website. Also, an additional 525 phone surveys were completed.
Collin Corbett, who represented the consulting firm at the meeting, reported that support for enhanced fine arts programming was not as high among community members. He said overall, safety and security and a new high school auditorium were the top priorities selected by the public.
