I-728 is a statewide initiative passed by Washington voters. As a result of the initiative, districts will receive funding for the purpose of achieving higher academic standards for all students through smaller class sizes and other improvements.

The I-728 funds must be used in any of the following six areas:

• Class size reduction K-4
• Selected class size reductions in grades 5-12
• Extended learning opportunities for students in K-12
• Additional professional development for educators
• Early assistance for children who need pre-kindergarten support
• Improvements or additions to school facilities that are directly related to class size reductions and extended learning.

Renton School District's plan focused on student achievement. Individual sites developed plans with input from staff and community and are presented annually in May at a public hearing.

Site Plans

Individual school site plans are posted on each school's district-maintained web page. Please visit our 'schools' page and select the school of your choice from the menu. Select the 'school reports' link to view I-728 plans and other school-related reports.

The I-728 Ad Hoc Advisory Committee is comprised of seventeen members representing staff and community members.

The committee considers, reviews and recommends guidelines for use of I-728 funding and assists in development of the District Plan for Implementing Initiative 728. These are open meetings and guests are welcome to attend.
