Initiative 728, the class size initiative, passed by nearly 72% in November 2000.  I‐728 has demonstrated that targeted new investments can create significant and sustained results for a school district whether it is tackling class size problems or increasing early learning opportunities. 

Since 2001, I‐728 has provided over one billion dollars in funding to implement education reform and improve student learning.
