2004 was very much an organizational year for NQE. The founders made pivotal decisions regarding the structure and function of the organization. Bylaws were created and the decision to take on a business model was solidified when the corporate charter entered into record March 18, 2004. Work soon began compiling information and financial projections in order to file for non profit status with the Internal Revenue Service. NQE was granted 501 (c) (4) status effective March 18, 2004.
While structuring the organization, NQE took on many issues that directly involved students and closely monitored others. The board of directors attended weekly meetings, clinics and conferences learning and sharing information. NQE spent a great deal of time on State assessment and accountability, CCSD discipline policies and political endorsements.
