p.m. 

On November 20, 2014, from 9:00 

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. the Assessment 

Development Committee will meet in 

closed session to review assessment 

items for the NAEP transition to 

technology-based assessments (TBA). 

The briefing will include secure items 

in reading and mathematics at grades 4 

and 8. These secure materials are paperand-pencil items in reading and 

mathematics that are being transformed 

into technology-based assessment items 

for the 2016 pilot, in preparation for the 

2017 operational assessment. Following 

the TBA briefing, the ADC will review 

secure mathematics materials for 

scenario-based tasks that are being 

developed for grades 4 and 8 for the 

2016 pilot, in preparation for the 2017 

operational assessment. The 

Committee’s reviews and discussions on 

secure test items cannot be discussed in 

an open meeting to protect the 

confidentiality of the secure assessment 

materials. Premature disclosure of these 

results would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP assessment 

program, and is therefore protected by 

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

Title 5 United States Code. 

The Board’s Assessment Literacy 

Work Group will meet in open session 

on November 20, 2014, from 12:00 p.m. 

to 4:00 p.m. The Work Group will 

discuss assessment literacy strategies 

and timelines related to their work on 

supporting a better understanding of 

educational tests among parents and 

members of the general public. 

The Board’s Executive Committee will 

convene in open session on November 

20, 2014 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to 

review and discuss the November 21– 

22, 2014 Board meeting agenda, receive 

updates on the NAEP budget, 

assessment schedule, and 

reauthorization, and discuss Board 

Committee issues and challenges to be 

addressed by the respective Board 

Committees. 

Following this session, the Executive 

Committee will meet in closed session 

from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to receive 

and discuss cost estimates on various 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 214 / Wednesday, November 5, 2014 / Notices 65645 

options for implementing NAEP for 

2014–2018. The implications of the cost 

estimates and funds in support of the 

NAEP Assessment Schedule and future 

NAEP activities will also be discussed. 

This part of the meeting must be 

conducted in closed session because 

public disclosure of this information 

would likely have an adverse financial 

effect on the NAEP program by 

providing confidential cost details and 

proprietary contract costs of current 

contractors to the public. Discussion of 

this information would be likely to 

significantly impede implementation of 

a proposed agency action if conducted 

in open session. Such matters are 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b of Title 5 U.S.C. 

On November 21, 2014, the full Board 

will meet in open session from 8:30 a.m. 

to 9:30 a.m. The Board will review and 

approve the November 21–22, 2014 

Board meeting agenda and meeting 

minutes from the July 31–August 2, 

2014 Quarterly Board meeting. This 

session will be followed by the 

Chairman’s remarks. The Chairman will 

then introduce the new Governing 

Board members who will provide 

remarks. Thereafter, the Executive 

Director of the Governing Board will 

provide a report, followed by an update 

on the Institute of Education Sciences 

(IES) from the Acting Director and an 

update on NCES from the Acting 

Commissioner. The Board will recess for 

Committee meetings from 10:00 a.m. to 

12:30 p.m. 

The Reporting and Dissemination 

Committee and the Committee on 

Standards, Design and Methodology 

(COSDAM) will meet in open sessions 

from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to discuss 

their ongoing policy issues. The 

Assessment Development Committee 

will meet in open session from 10:00 

a.m. to 11:45 a.m. to discuss ongoing 

work and in closed session from 11:45 

a.m. to 12:30 p.m. During the closed 

session, the Committee will receive a 

briefing on the 2011 NAEP Writing 

assessment which will include secure 

NAEP writing prompts in grades 4, 8, 

and 12 which were administered in 

2011. These prompts will be readministered in 2017 to report on trends 

in student writing achievement at 

grades 4, 8, and 12. The Committee’s 

reviews and discussions on secure 

writing prompts cannot be discussed in 

an open meeting to protect the 

confidentiality of the secure assessment 

materials. Premature disclosure of these 

results would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP assessment 

program, and is therefore protected by 

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

Title 5 United States Code. 

Following the Committee meetings, 

the Board will convene in closed 

session from 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. to 

receive a briefing on a NAEP report 

titled, Mapping State Proficiency 

Standards onto NAEP Scales: 2011– 

2013. The Board will receive an 

embargoed briefing on preliminary 

results, which will include assessment 

data and results that cannot be 

discussed in an open meeting prior to 

their official approval and release in 

early 2015 by the National Assessment 

Governing Board. Premature disclosure 

of these results would significantly 

impede implementation of the NAEP 

assessment program, and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b(c) of Title 5 United States Code. 

On November 21, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. 

to 2:30 p.m., the Board will meet in 

open session. The Secretary of 

Education, Arne Duncan, will 

administer the Oath of Office to new 

members and make remarks to the 

Board. 

From 2:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., the 

Board will meet in closed session to 

discuss the NAEP Schedule of 

Assessments and NAEP budget. This 

session will be an in-depth briefing and 

discussion to examine specific costs for 

assessing NAEP subjects, including cost 

projections for moving NAEP to 

technology-based assessments, which 

will impact the NAEP schedule from 

2015–2024. This detailed briefing will 

also allow new Board members to 

become thoroughly familiar with NAEP 

budget details in preparation for future 

action on the NAEP Schedule of 

Assessments in upcoming 2015 Board 

meetings. This part of the meeting must 

be conducted in closed session because 

public disclosure of this information 

would likely have an adverse financial 

effect on the NAEP program by 

providing contractors attending the 

Board meeting an unfair advantage in 

procurement and contract negotiations 

for NAEP. Discussion of this 

information would be likely to 

significantly impede implementation of 

a proposed agency action if conducted 

in open session. Such matters are 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

552b of Title 5 U.S.C. 

Following this closed session, Board 

members will receive their annual 

ethics briefing from the U.S. Department 

of Education, Office of General Counsel 

from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The 

November 21, 2014 session will adjourn 

at 5:00 p.m. 

On November 22, 2014, the 

Nominations Committee will meet in 

closed session from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 

a.m. to discuss candidates for the eight 

Board vacancies for terms beginning on 

October 1, 2015. The Committee’s 

discussions pertain solely to internal 

personnel rules and practices of an 

agency and information of a personal 

nature where disclosure would 

constitute an unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy. As such, the 

discussions are protected by exemptions 

2 and 6 of section 552b(c) of Title 5 of 

the United States Code. 

On November 22, 2014, the Board will 

meet in closed session from 8:30 a.m. to 

9:30 a.m. to receive a briefing and 

discuss the 2013 NAEP Puerto Rico 

Mathematics Report. This is an 

embargoed briefing on preliminary 

results, which will include assessment 

data and results that cannot be 

discussed in an open meeting prior to 

their official approval and release in 

December 2014 by the National 

Assessment Governing Board. 

Premature disclosure of these results 

would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP assessment 

program, and is therefore protected by 

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

Title 5 United States Code. 

From 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. the 

Board will receive a briefing on an 

Inside NAEP series—Recent NAEP 

Reports and Outreach. Following this 

session, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

the Board will receive reports from the 

standing Committees and the 

Assessment Literacy Work Group, and 

take action on Committee 

recommendations. The November 22, 

2014 meeting is scheduled to adjourn at 

12:00 p.m. 

Access to Records of the Meeting: 

Pursuant to FACA requirements, the 

public may also inspect the meeting 

materials at www.nagb.gov on Friday, 

November 21, 2014 by 9:00 a.m. ET. The 

official verbatim transcripts of the 

public meeting sessions will be
