Initiative 728 Plan for 2009-10 School Year
On April 27, 2009, the Auburn School Board of Directors held a public hearing regarding the district's proposed 728 plan for improving public education and achieving high academic standards for all students. At the time of the hearing, a draft plan contingent upon funding by the Washington legislature was presented to the public. That plan was revised to reflect the reduction of 728 initiative resources for the Auburn School District from $6,388,204.50 for the 2008-09 school year to only $370,480.40 for the 2009-10 school year.
2009-10 Initiative 728 Plan
The Auburn School Board of Directors is committed to student achievement. Consequently, with the near elimination of 728 funds, the board made $6 million dollars in reductions using program priorities for maintaining class size and teachers as well as the staff for the extension of the first and second grade day utilizing a learning specialist model.

With severe state budget reduction for education, the board adopted Resolution 1077 calling for a reduction and modification in programs while maintaining program priorities guided by community input and the Auburn School District Strategic Improvement Plan.
The remaining 728 funds, $370,480.40, will be utilized for staff development that is aligned to the district and school improvement goals. Staff development is a critical element of the board's goals for improved academic performance for all students.
The 728 plan will also include extended learning for targeted students.
