Abstract	The "2005 Annual Report on Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence" details the school system's significant progress toward meeting the identified milestones within each of the system's four strategic goal areas. The overall trend data continue to provide strong evidence of the effectiveness of our strategies and initiatives detailed in "Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence." The data also highlight areas requiring additional improvement to increase the performance of all students. Available baseline and trend data are presented for each data point. The baseline year of 2000 was established in alignment with the initial adoption of "Our Call to Action." When data are not available for data points in the 2000 baseline year, the baseline year is the first year in which the data are available. "Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence" establishes the strategic course of the school system's overall operation, including the operating budget, and lays the foundation for an unprecedented effort to improve the instructional program in each school. The plan reflects an effective organization, implementation, and accountability process that was recognized earlier this year when Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) won the United States Senate Productivity Award for Maryland. That achievement reflects a strategic planning focus and a comprehensive reform effort that began with the initial "Our Call to Action" in November 1999 and continues to be refined and strengthened each year. This strategic planning process guides staff throughout the school system in their work with schools, parents, and the community. Moreover, the strategic plan addresses the requirements of the state of Maryland Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act and the achievement goals of the federal "No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)." The 2005 annual report provides a comprehensive accounting of the school system's performance on the established milestones and data points of the strategic plan. The plan's four goals--ensure success for every student, provide an effective instructional program, strengthen productive partnerships for education, and create a positive work environment in a self-renewing organization--align with the Board of Education's four core governance policies and provide a framework for monitoring the progress of ongoing reform and improvement efforts. Within each goal, the established milestones and data points are the rubric for monitoring performance.
