SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

is authorized by Section 116 of the 

Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002. 

The Board advises the Director of the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES) on 

the establishment of activities to be 

supported by the Institute, on the 

funding of applications for grants, 

contracts, and cooperative agreements 

for research after the completion of peer 

review, and reviews and evaluates the 

work of the Institute. On September 21, 

the Board will review the day’s agenda 

and hear from the Director an update on 

the work of the Institute of Education 

Sciences (IES) as well as a plan to 

implement the IES research priorities. 

At 4 p.m. there will be a presentation, 

‘‘Research Evidence Needed by 

Education Policy Makers,’’ by Kati 

Haycock, Director of the Education 

Trust. 

On September 21, after a review of the 

prior day’s activities, there will be a 

closed session from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. 

to review a statement of work for a 

Congressionally mandated final report 

evaluating the effectiveness of IES in 

meeting its goals and objectives. 

Because public discussion of this action 

would jeopardize a fair and open 

competition and potentially frustrate the 

implementation of a proposed agency 

activity, this portion of the meeting will 

be closed to the public under exemption 

9 B of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. 

The meeting will reopen at 10:45 a.m. 

for a discussion of policy proposals 

presented by the Board’s Subcommittee 

on the National Center for Education 

Evaluation and a report from the Center 

Director. Reports from the Centers on 

Educational Research and Special 

Education Research will follow. The 

meeting will adjourn at 2 p.m. 

A final agenda will be available from 

Sonia Chessen on September 8, 2006.
