BUSH 2004 BUDGET CALLS FOR $144.5 MILLION IN CUTS FOR ED TECH
President Bush's proposed 2004 budget calls for a $2.4 billion increase for
the US Department of Education, but the increase is paired with cuts in
technology-related programming totaling almost $145 million. Programs slated
for cuts include Community Technology Centers ($32.5 million), Preparing
Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology, or PT3($62.5 million), Ready to Teach
($12 million), Regional Technology in Education Consortia ($10 million), and
Star Schools ($27.5 million) - all programs that Bush proposed cutting in FY
2003. "In these times of tight budgets and accountability, we can no longer
continue to fund programs that simply are not helping students achieve,"
argued Education Secretary Rod Paige.
