Abstract	Following an introductory overview of the problems facing education in Colorado, 46 specific educational reforms recommended by the state governor's Task Force on Excellence in Education are discussed in this final report, and the state and local agencies that must be involved in the implementation of each of the reforms are identified. The recommendations fall into eight categories, the first three being (1) schools and schooling, comprising suggestions relating to the curriculum, student achievement, remedial education, school and class size, programs for the gifted and talented, time utilization, discipline, and English as a second language; (2) teaching, covering career development, financial support, teacher education, teaching materials, and recognition; and (3) administration, covering the qualifications and preparation of building administrators and the roles of the superintendent's office and the district school board. The remaining recommendations focus on (4) financial support and the state's financing system, (5) the role of higher education, (6) increased recognition of the diversity of students' cultural backgrounds, (7) cooperation between school and community, and (8) likely educational norms of the future. Minority reports, a 137-item bibliography, and a listing of task force members complete the report. (PGD)
