The Board will be provided with embargoed data that cannot be discussed in an open meeting prior to their official release. Premature disclosure of data would significantly impede implementation of the NAEP assessments in the subjects, and is therefore protected by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. Thereafter the Committee will meet in open session till 3:00 p.m. From 12:45 p.m. to 1:05 p.m. two of the Board’s standing committees—the Committee on Standards, Design and Methodology (COSDAM) and the Reporting and Dissemination Committee—will meet in a joint closed session to receive a briefing on 2009 participation rates for 12th grade students and item response rates. In addition, members will be briefed on participation rates for private schools and students for all grades in subjects assessed in 2009. These data will provide information to help determine whether participation rates are sufficient to assure reliable test results and sufficiency of response rates for reliable measurement. Following this joint session, the Reporting and Dissemination Committee will meet in open session from 1:05 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. COSDAM will continue to meet in closed session from 1:05 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. to receive a briefing on trend results for 2009 reading and grade 12 mathematics. Members will review secure data and results on trend analyses for 2009 reading and grade 12 mathematics with respect to achievement levels. The data will inform decisions on whether the evidence is sufficient to assure the technical feasibility of maintaining trend for reporting 2009 data. COSDAM will receive a briefing on preliminary results of the 2009 science achievement levels pilot study. Members will review secure science pilot results on the percentages of students scoring at or above the cut scores set in the science pilot study, and they will review item data. These Committee meetings will be partially closed since disclosure of the secure data, not yet released to the public, would significantly impede implementation of the NAEP reading and science assessment programs at all grades and mathematics at grade 12, and is therefore protected by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. The full Board will meet in open session on November 21 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to receive a briefing on the NAEP Technological Literacy VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:45 Nov 09, 2009 Jkt 220001 Framework project. This session will be followed by an ethics briefing conducted from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., provided to Board members from the Office of General Counsel. The November 20 session of the Board meeting is scheduled to adjourn at 4:30 p.m. On November 21, the Nominations Committee will meet in closed session from 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. to review and discuss confidential information on nominees (to include individual names and resumes) received for Board vacancies for terms beginning on October 1, 2010. 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 closed session on November 21 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. to receive a briefing on the 2009 Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) Mathematics Report Card. The data has not been released to the public and cannot be discussed in an open meeting. Premature disclosure of the embargoed data would significantly impede implementation of the NAEP TUDA program, and is therefore protected by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. Thereafter, the Board will meet in open session from 9:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to review and take action on Committee reports. The November 21, 2009 session of the Board meeting is scheduled to adjourn at 11:00 a.m. Detailed minutes of the meeting, including summaries of the activities of the closed sessions and related matters that are informative to the public and consistent with the policy of section 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) will be available to the public within 14 days of the meeting.
