Board approves Barrington 220 Roadmap to Reopening
At its August 11 meeting, the Board approved a resolution to adopt the district's Roadmap to Reopening, which states students will begin the 2020-21 school year with Distance Learning. The first day of school for grades 1-12 is Thursday, August 20. The first day of school for PK and kindergarten is Monday, August 24.
The district plans to remain in Distance Learning mode until at least Friday, October 16. A district committee made up of school nurses, teachers, support staff and school administrators is working to create re-entry criteria that will be used, in conjunction with local health guidelines, to determine when students can safely return to in-person learning.
