Why this petition matters

Started by Barrington Parent

We, the parents and taxpayers of District 220, are calling for the immediate termination or resignation of Superintendent Brian Harris. 

Superintendent Brian Harris has failed the students of District 220 and the community as a whole.  Since the onset of COVID-19, and declaration of COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities and duties as Superintendent of District 220. 

Despite having ample opportunity to prepare and train teachers/staff for this situation, our children have received less than 3 full days of face-to-face instruction during the 2020/21 school year.  Many other surrounding school districts have provided a consistent daily face-to-face hybrid option for students since August.  Brian Harris did NOT provide this option for our students, even though over 70% of parents voted for this option in a District 220 survey and have voiced their concerns tirelessly with no response.

We believe parents and guardians of District 220 students should have the OPTION to CHOOSE in-person learning 5 days a week OR remote (distance) learning.  

Brian Harris did not put our children’s needs, safety, well-being, and health at the forefront of his leadership and decision-making process. As such we are asking for his immediate termination or resignation.

Please sign this petition and forward it to everyone you know to help provide better options and leadership for ALL our children. Our goal is to have in excess of 3,000 signatures prior to the next school board meeting on December 15, 2020.
