Barrington CUSD 220 board approves consent agenda, personnel reductions and keeps 2026–27 fees largely flat
Summary
The Barrington CUSD 220 Board of Education approved the consent agenda (including a revised personnel report), a resolution authorizing honorable dismissal of group-one probationary certified staff due to a reduction in force, and the 2026–27 school fees (flat overall with culinary fee increases). All votes were unanimous.
The Barrington CUSD 220 Board of Education approved routine and action items at its March 3 meeting, including the consent agenda, a staffing reduction resolution and school fees for the 2026–27 year.
On a motion and second, the board approved the consent agenda — which included open and closed minutes from Feb. 17 and a revised personnel report — in a roll call vote recorded as unanimous by the seven members present. Following that vote, administration introduced Anthony (Tony) Dots, the district's recommended candidate for director of technology services; board members welcomed him and he expressed excitement to begin work in the district.
Later the board considered a resolution authorizing the "honorable dismissal" of group-one probationary certified staff because of a reduction in force. Board members discussed that staffing decisions could change if spring enrollment fluctuated; administration confirmed that employees could be asked back if enrollment or needs change. The resolution passed on a roll call vote with all present board members recorded as voting "yes."
The board also approved the 2026–27 school fees. Administrators said fees would remain flat for the coming year except for a culinary-course fee increase and that, because of a locker-system change, freshmen and other new students would pay the same fees as other high-school students. That motion passed unanimously on roll call.
