New Years Message from Mayor Sheila Dixon

It has been my honor to serve you in 2008. We have and are still experiencing extremely tough times on a local, national and global level. However, we still have much to celebrate in 2008. Despite the challenges of the current economy, Baltimore City is still on the rise.

We are proving we have great kids and great schools. The number of public high schools that made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), the federal student achievement standard required under No Child Left Behind, nearly doubled since last year. High school enrollment has increased for the first time in five years. Overall enrollment has increased for the first time in four decades!

We have also made great strides in our vision for a cleaner, greener, healthier, and safer Baltimore. Our City is safer. In 2008, Baltimore recorded the lowest number of homicides in two decades. These results are due to our three-pronged public safety strategy: targeted enforcement, community engagement and strong partnerships. Through utilizing this strategy, the Police Department has been able to target our most violent offenders and most historically violent areas of the City. With your help, we have been able to get illegal guns and the bad guys that use them off our streets...
