SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Assessment Governing Board 

is established under section 412 of the 

National Education Statistics Act of 

1994, as amended. 

The Board is established to formulate 

policy guidelines for the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP). The Board’s responsibilities 

include selecting subject areas to be 

assessed, developing assessment 

objectives, developing appropriate 

student achievement levels for each 

grade and subject tested, developing 

guidelines for reporting and 

disseminating results, and developing 

standards and procedures for interstate 

and national comparisons. 

On May 17, the Assessment 

Development Committee will meet in 

open session from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The 

Reporting and Dissemination Committee 

will meet in closed session on May 17 

from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. to receive a 

briefing on secure data on participation, 

exclusion, and accommodation rates for 

grades 4, 8, and 12 for the 2007 NAEP 

assessments. The NAEP reports will be 

not be released until the fall of 2007. 

The meeting must be conducted in 

closed session as disclosure of proposed 

test items for the reading assessment 

would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP program, 

and is therefore protected by exemption 

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

The Reporting and Dissemination 

Committee will meet in open session on 

May 17 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The 

Executive Committee will meet in open 

session on May 17 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 

p.m. 

On May 18, the full Board will meet 

in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 

p.m. From 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. the Board 

will approve the agenda, followed by 

welcome remarks. The Board will then 

receive the Executive Director’s report 

and hear an update on the work of the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES). 

From 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on May 

18, the Assessment Development 

Committee and the Reporting and 

Dissemination Committee will meet in 

open session. The Committee on 

Standards, Design and Methodology 

will meet in open session on May 18 

from 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. and will 

meet in closed session from 11:15 a.m. 

to 12:15 p.m. to discuss the 2006 NAEP 

Economics Achievement Levels for 

Grade 12. This briefing will involve 

discussion of achievement level 

findings which constitute a major basis 

for the national release of the NAEP 

Grade 12 Economics results, and cannot 

be released in an open meeting prior to 

the official release of the reports. The 

meeting must therefore be conducted in 

closed session as disclosure of data 

would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP release 

activities, and is therefore protected by 

exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 U.S.C. 

On May 18, the full Board will meet 

in closed session from 12:15 p.m. to 

1:45 p.m. The Board will receive a 

briefing provided by the National Center 

for Education Statistics on the NAEP 

2006 U.S. History and Civics Report 

Cards. The Governing Board will be 

provided with embargoed data that 

cannot be discussed in an open meeting 

prior to their official release. The 

meeting must therefore be conducted in 

closed session as disclosure of data 

would significantly impede 

implementation of The Nation’s Report
