U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona today announced the  appointment of Jhone Ebert, superintendent of public instruction in Nevada, to the National Assessment Governing Board, which sets policy for the Nation’s Report Card. Ebert fills a spot on the Governing Board reserved for a chief state school officer. Her term began Nov. 20, 2023.

“I’m pleased to appoint Superintendent Ebert, a distinguished  educator and a chief state school officer with years of expertise and  experience, to the National Assessment Governing Board,” said Secretary  Cardona, “As we work to Raise the Bar for academic excellence at this critical  moment in our students’ continued recovery from the pandemic, it’s vital that  we have the evidence-based insights and contributions of proven education  leaders to guide decision-making, particularly for how we assess students’  academic achievement in our country. I’m grateful to Superintendent Ebert  for her service.”

The Nation's Report Card,  also known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, is the  only nationally representative assessment of student achievement. Over the past  year, NAEP has provided critical insights into student learning across subjects  and grades during the pandemic. In addition, accompanying survey data has  revealed important trends related to chronic absenteeism, literacy, and teacher  confidence in getting students back on track.

“I’m honored to welcome Superintendent Ebert to the Governing  Board and, together, continuing the pressing work of understanding whether, to  what degree, and where the nation is making academic gains,” said Lesley  Muldoon, executive director of the Governing Board. “The Nation’s Report Card  serves as a catalyst for action to improve student achievement, and state  chiefs like Ebert inform and drive that vital work.”

The nonpartisan 26-member Governing Board was established by Congress to set policy for the Nation’s Report Card. The board decides what  grades and subjects to assess, content to include, and achievement levels. It  works with the National Center for Education Statistics, which administers  NAEP, to release and disseminate results. See the full governing board members list here.

The National Assessment Governing Board is an independent, nonpartisan board whose members include governors, state legislators, local and  state school officials, educators, business representatives and members of the  general public. Congress created the governing board in 1988 to set policy for  the National Assessment of Educational Progress. For more information about the  governing board, visit www.nagb.gov.
