Is their an
increasing school enrollment crisis in Barrington School
District 220?
What ever happened to to the
exploding enrollment in the district? The School Board commissioned two enrollment experts to come up with data
to support the expansion of school facilities. The fact is,
school enrollment district wide did not increase for the 2006
- 2007 school year. No enrollment crisis there. More to
come on the 2007 - 2008 school year.
