PUNS is a statewide waiting list for individuals with developmental disabilities who may need funding for services either now or in the future. Children as young as 2.5 years old, teens, and adults can enroll in PUNS when they have been diagnosed with a developmental disability. There can be a long wait before someone is selected for funding so we encourage you not to wait!

The Barrington 220 Board of Education's 2024 Referendum Advisory Committee will assist the Board in identifying key components to be included in a referendum question proposed for the November 5, 2024 election ballot. The 2024 Referendum Advisory Committee will make a final recommendation to the Board of Education by the June 4, 2024 Board of Education meeting. The final decision of what will be asked on a potential referendum question rests with the Board. If the Board decides to place a referendum question on the November 2024 ballot, it must approve the question in August 2024.

The committee consists of approximately 60 members representing all district attendance areas and grade levels, as well as members of local Barrington community organizations. 

Meetings are open to the public, however, only committee members may participate and vote.
