H. Res. 222 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 9, 2009. 
Whereas the National Assessment Governing Board (the Gov-
erning Board) is an independent, bipartisan board cre-
ated by Congress in 1988 to set policy for the National 
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), commonly 
known as ‘‘The Nation’s Report Card’’; 
Whereas the Governing Board is made up of 26 members, in-
cluding Governors, State legislators, local and State 
school officials, educators, researchers, business rep-
resentatives, and members of the general public; 
Whereas when Congress established the Governing Board to 
oversee The Nation’s Report Card, it ensured that the 
NAEP would be conducted independently and free from 
inappropriate influences and special interests; 
Whereas in overseeing The Nation’s Report Card, the Gov-
erning Board identifies subjects to be assessed, deter-
mines the content and achievement levels for each assess-
ment, and approves all assessment questions; 
Whereas The Nation’s Report Card is conducted as a rep-
resentative sample and currently includes National 
NAEP assessments (which assess the performance of stu-
dents in grades 4, 8, and 12 in reading, mathematics, 
writing, science, U.S. history, geography, and other sub-
•HRES 222 EH 
jects), State-by-State assessments (which are adminis-
tered to students in grades 4 and 8 to access perform-
ance in reading, mathematics, writing, and science), Trial 
Urban District assessments (which report on the achieve-
ment of 4th and 8th grade students in 18 urban school 
districts that participate in reading, mathematics, writing 
and science assessments), and long-term trend assess-
ments (which are administered nationally every 4 years 
to students ages 9, 13, and 17 to assess performance in 
reading and mathematics); 
Whereas State participation in NAEP assessments is vol-
untary with the exception of reading and mathematics as-
sessments, which States are required to administer to 
public school students in grades 4 and 8 every 2 years 
in an effort to measure student performance in reading 
and mathematics; 
Whereas all students who participate in NAEP do so on a 
voluntary basis and NAEP is forbidden by law to main-
tain or report information on individual students or 
schools; 
Whereas the Governing Board works to inform the public 
about The Nation’s Report Card by communicating its 
results to a wide range of Americans, including edu-
cators, the media, and elected officials and policymakers
