NQE awarded by the Nevada Association of School Boards:
Distinguished Service Award
K-12 Public Education Advocacy Organization-Nevadans for Quality Education
Nevadans for Quality Education (NQE) is a grass roots organization formed by a group of parents from Clark County who were disillusioned after the 2003 Session of the Nevada Legislature during which funds for K-12 public education were held hostage. During the intervening years, NQE has advocated for education-friendly legislation, has opposed unfunded mandates and supported full-day kindergarten for Nevada children. While NQE began as a Clark County based organization, in 2005 the group began a serious effort to travel to the counties throughout the State and broaden the basis of its support for K-12 issues. NQE is a respected, proactive watchdog not-for-profit organization that is part of the overall partnership to improve K-12 education in Nevada. As an organization, NQE provides a critical statewide umbrella for everyone who is deeply concerned about K-12 public education.
