Public comment invited on student achievement funds
Published on Thu, Apr 23, 2009Read More Schools
In November 2000 voters overwhelmingly approved Initiative 728, which provides additional money to help students reach new state learning standards and dedicates some state revenues to a Student Achievement Fund. The Lakewood School District will hold a public hearing on use of the funds on Wednesday, April 29, at 6 p.m. at the Technology Training Lab at English Crossing Elementary School, 16728-16th Dr. NE, Marysville.
Under I-728, school districts are authorized to use funds to provide extended learning opportunities, additional professional development for educators, and early assistance for children who need pre-kindergarten support. The money can also be used to reduce class size or to fund building improvements relating to class-size reductions.
Immediately following the public comment period, the School Board will hold a study session at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend both sessions and to provide comments if desired.
