Your voice is critical to the next stage of our strategic planning process.”

Barrington Superintendent of Schools Michael Messore

The Barrington School Department is beginning the process to develop a new strategic plan, and one of the early steps is to conduct a survey.

All members of the Barrington community are being asked to complete the survey, which will help officials as they begin to imagine the future of the school district. 

“Your voice is critical to the next stage of our strategic planning process,” stated a press release from Barrington Superintendent of Schools Michael Messore. 

“All members of the Barrington community, including BPS families, staff, students, and Barrington residents, are encouraged to share their voice by taking this survey, which will take less than 10 minutes to complete.”

The survey is open from Jan. 2 to Jan. 14. It can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BPS2024

“Your voice will be a part of ensuring that the district’s Deep Learning work continues and evolves to ensure all students excel in character, citizenship, collaboration, creativity, community, and critical thinking so that they may positively impact the future,” stated a press release from the district. 

Barrington Schools have partnered with the firm, G&D Associates, to build the new strategic plan.
