Bush 2004 budget calls for $53 billion for ED, but $144.5 million in cuts for ed tech - eSchool News staff and wire service reports
Five technology-specific programs totaling $144.5 million are among the 45 education programs scheduled for termination in President Bush’s 2004 budget request, which he sent to Congress Feb. 3. Bush’s 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 President’s FY 2004 budget would cut several technology-specific programs such as Community Technology Centers ($32.5 million), Preparing Tomorrow’s 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).
