Mayor Adrian Fenty Friday laid out a modest set of priorities for his second year in office that are in sharp contrast to the major initiatives he undertook in his freshman year as mayor.

Where there was the high-profile D.C. Public Schools takeover in 2007, Fenty begins 2008 with an aim to create individual graduation plans for high school students and to increase the number of 9th- to 11th-graders taking the PSATs in October. An overarching objective to reintroduce community policing in 2007 is being followed this year with a pledge to improve police efficiency by deploying laptop computers, and to increase police visibility by reassigning employees to the field.
