NCES on test items for the NAEP 2009
reading and math assessments to
demonstrate the effectiveness of new
item development strategies. The
second portion of the closed session
briefing from NCES is to receive
preliminary results of NAEP studies to
maintain trend lines for the 2009 NAEP
reading and mathematics assessments.
The meeting must therefore be
conducted in closed session in order to
allow the Committee to receive and
discuss confidential test items and
results of NAEP studies that have not
been publicly released. This 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
August 1 from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
On August 1, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30
p.m. the full Board will meet in open
session to hear a presentation from the
Virginia Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the Chair of the
Governing Board’s Policy Task Force
that works with the Council of Chief
State School Officers. From 1:30 p.m. to
2:30 p.m. the Board will receive a
briefing from the Chair of the Board’s
12th Grade Technical Panel on
Preparedness Research. From 2:45 p.m.
to 4 p.m., the Board will hear a
presentation from the Executive Director
of the Council of the Great City Schools
on how Trial Urban Districts make use
of NAEP data. The August 1 session of
the Board meeting is scheduled to
adjourn at 4 p.m.
On August 2, the Nominations
Committee will meet in closed session
from 8:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. to receive an
update on the status of the 2008 Board
nominations and to review and discuss
confidential information regarding
nominees for Board vacancies for terms
beginning on October 1, 2009. These
discussions pertain solely to internal
personnel rules and practices of an
agency and will disclose 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 U.S.C.
The full Board will meet in open
session on August 2 from 8:15 a.m. to
12 p.m. to hear a presentation on
‘‘Inside NAEP: Background Variables.’’
From 10:15 a.m. to 12 p.m. the Board
will receive and take action on
Committee reports and elect the Board
Vice Chair. The August 2, 2008 session
of the Board meeting is scheduled to
adjourn at 12 p.m.
