Evergreen Public Schools - Report to the community 

Initiative 728 - Making a difference in student learning 

Initiative 728 was passed by voters “to improve public education and to achieve higher academic standards 

for all students through smaller class sizes and other improvements.” 

This landmark law provides dedicated funding and resources aimed directly at ensuring students meet the 

learning requirements set forth in the state’s education reform program. It also encourages school districts 

and their communities to work in partnership to determine where and how those resources can be used 

most effectively, within the broad categories set forth in I-728: 

• Class size reductions K-5 

• Selected class size reductions in middle and high school 

• Additional staffing for remedial reading 

• Additional professional development for educators tied to state standards and student needs 

• Providing extended learning opportunities K-12 

I - 728 Funds Received by Evergreen Public Schools 

I-728 funding is based on the number of full-time students (FTE’s) enrolled in the district. For the 2005- 

06 school year, the State Legislature allocated $300 per FTE student from I-728 monies. Evergreen Public 

Schools enrollment in 2004-05 of 23,787.84 FTE students resulted in an appropriation of $7,136,352 

from I-728. This compares with a total district budget of $194,690,530. 

Evergreen Public Schools I - 728 Revenue 2001-2006 

Note: Initiative 728 required that the per FTE allocation increase to a minimum of $450.00 beginning in 

2004. However, the State Legislature reduced the allocation in 2004 to $254.00 due to a statewide revenue 

shortfall. As mentioned above, the State Legislature allocated $300 per FTE in the 2005-06 school year, 

and in the 2006-07 school year $375 per FTE. Both amounts are still below the voter approved amount of 

$450 per FTE.

district. The following tables show the percentage of Evergreen Public Schools students meeting standard 

on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) from 2000 through 2005-2006.

Report on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) 

Schools and districts that receive Title 1 funding and have not made “adequate yearly progress” 

(AYP) for two consecutive years are identified for Title 1 school improvement. This means 

schools and/or districts were unsuccessful in meeting or exceeding the state’s prescribed AYP 

criteria in any of 37 subcategories at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and 111 categories 

district-wide. The criteria reflects state reading and mathematics goals as measured by the 

WASL. Once identified, schools and districts must demonstrate AYP for two consecutive years in 

order to be removed from school improvement.
