Five technology-specific programs totaling $144.5 million are among the 45
education programs scheduled for termination in President Bushs 2004
budget request, which he sent to Congress Feb. 3.
Bushs 2004 budget called for an overall increase of $2.4 billion at ED,
but schools and colleges still await current-year funding as Congress
continues to wrangle over the 2003 budget.

The presidents FY 2004 budget would cut several technology-specific
programs such as Community Technology Centers ($32.5 million), Preparing
Tomorrows Teachers to Use Technology ($62.5 million), Ready to Teach ($12
million), Regional Technology in Education Consortia ($10 million), and
Star Schools ($27.5 million).
These programs also were slated for the ax in Bushs 2003 budget request.
Overall, the presidents $2.23 trillion budget for the 2004 fiscal year,
which begins Oct. 1, provides $53 billion for the U.S. Department of
Education (ED)the largest dollar increase for any domestic agency,
according to Education Secretary Rod Paige.
But we also are proposing to spend our education dollars more wisely. In
these times of tight budgets and accountability, we can no longer continue
to fund programs that simply are not helping students achieve, Paige said
during a briefing with reporters.
