Records of the Council on Quality Education [CQE], established to recommend, for final funding by the State Board of Education, innovative and cost-effective projects in elementary and secondary education. The materials document the various activities of the council, particularly its role in distribution of project money, evaluation of funded projects, development and implementation of the Early Childhood and Family Education [ECFE] and Improved Learning programs, and work on alternative delivery systems for small rural school and grants for community education, especially services for handicapped adults. Included are minutes of the full council and individual committees, reports generated by the CQE for submission to the Minnesota Legislature, evaluation reports compiled by independent evaluators about CQE programs, subject files maintained by the Council's executive director Eugene Kairies, project files documenting innovative or cost-effective projects funded and implemented in elementary and secondary education following CQE recommendations, and published records and reports.
