U.S. Department of Education. Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Plan

摘要

Last year Secretary Rod Paige released the Departments 2002-2007 Strategic Plan. This plan established six ambitious goals for the agency and for the nation. It identified specific performance measures and annual targets that give substance to the goals. It outlined the Departments strategies to reach its goals. The Strategic Plan integrates the Presidents No Child Left Behind initiative with the Presidents Management Agenda (PMA). Bold policy underlies our goals and objectives. Effective management will ensure that we achieve them. The Departments Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Plan implements the Strategic Plan. In addition to specifying measures of each objective, it contains action steps to implement each objectives strategies. Our Executive Management Team will continuously track these action steps. Members of Congress, stakeholders, and the general public can view, with great transparency, our plans for putting ideas into action. Employees throughout the Department can gain greater insight into how their work connects with the results we are attempting to achieve.
