District Programs

The Barrington 220 School District is committed to providing a full continuum of services and support for students who are eligible for special education. As part of our continuum, we offer instructional programs to meet student needs. These programs are very specialized for specific students who require a specific level of support. Due to the limited number of students that need this level of support, these programs are not offered in every building and are typically multi-grade classrooms. If a student is found eligible to attend an instructional program that is not available at their home school, Barrington 220 will provide transportation to and from school. Placement within our instructional programs is evaluated annually, typically at the student’s annual review, and the student’s IEP team is responsible for determining placement.
