At a school board meeting Tuesday night, Barrington Unit 220 School District 220 Supt. Brian Harris said police would provide additional security for Barrington High School on Wednesday.
“If, for any reason, we ever felt that there was an unsafe situation, or an environment that is not appropriate, we would intervene significantly; and quite frankly wouldn’t encourage any kid to be there if we felt like there was an unsafe situation,” he said.
