guidelines for reporting and
disseminating results, and releasing
initial NAEP results to the public.
On May 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.,
the Ad Hoc Committee on Parent
Engagement will meet in open session.
Thereafter, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.,
the Assessment Development
Committee will meet in closed session
to review secure test items at the eighth
grade for the Technological and
Engineering Literacy (TEL) pilot
assessment in 2013. The Board will be
provided with specific test materials/
questions for review that cannot be
discussed/disclosed in an open meeting.
Premature disclosure of these secure test
materials would significantly impede
implementation of the NAEP
assessments, and is therefore protected
by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of
Title 5 U.S.C.
On May 12, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:15
p.m., the Executive Committee will
meet in open session and thereafter in
closed session from 5:15 p.m. to 6 p.m.
During the closed session on May 12,
the Executive Committee will receive a
briefing from the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) on options
for NAEP contracts covering assessment
years beyond 2011 and discuss budget
implications for the NAEP assessment
schedule and for international linking
studies. The discussion of contract
options and costs will address the
congressionally mandated goals and
Board policies on NAEP assessments.
This part of the meeting must be
conducted in closed session because
public discussion of this information
would disclose independent
government cost estimates and
contracting options, adversely
impacting the confidentiality of the
contracting process. Public disclosure of
information discussed would
significantly impede implementation of
the NAEP contracts, and is therefore
protected by exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On May 13, the full Board will meet
in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 9:45
a.m. The Board will review and approve
the meeting agenda and meeting
minutes from the March 2011 Board
meeting, followed by an oath of office
for a newly appointed Board member,
and the Chairman’s remarks. Thereafter,
Portland Board member W. James
Popham and Oregon education leaders
are scheduled to make welcome remarks
and address the Board. The Executive
Director of the Governing Board will
then provide a report to the Board,
followed by updates from the
Commissioner of the National Center for
Education Statistics and the Director of
the Institute of Education Sciences. The

The Governing Board’s standing
committees, the Assessment
Development Committee, the Reporting
and Dissemination Committee and the
Committee on Standards, Design and
Methodology will meet in open session
on May 13 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
On May 13, from 12:45 p.m. to 1:30
p.m. the full Board will meet in closed
session to receive a briefing on the 2010
NAEP U.S. History Report Card. The
Board will be provided with results of
the assessments that cannot be
discussed in an open meeting prior to
their official release. Premature
disclosure of test results would
significantly impede implementation of
the NAEP assessment, and is therefore
protected by exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
From 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. the Board
will meet in open session to receive a
briefing and discuss the NAEP Five
Largest States Report for 2009 (Mega
States). Following this session, from
2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., the Board will
discuss ways of improving student
achievement and closing achievement
gaps. From 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., the
Board will receive a briefing on
Oregon’s Assessment System from Tony
Alpert, the Director of Assessment and
Accountability from the Oregon
Department of Education.
The May 13, 2010 session of the

Committee will meet in closed session
from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. to review
specific names for Board vacancies, and
the status of nominees for Board
membership for terms beginning
October 1, 2011. 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.
On May 14, the full Board will meet
in open session to receive Committee
reports and take action on Committee
recommendations. The May 14, 2010
session of the Board meeting is
scheduled to adjourn at 10 a.m.

the closed sessions and related matters
that are informative to the public and

action must be for work which is
necessary to comply with applicable
requirements of the Uranium Mill
Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978
(42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where
appropriate, with requirements
established by a State pursuant to a
discontinuance agreement under section
274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954
(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for
reimbursement must be supported by
reasonable documentation as
determined by DOE in accordance with
10 CFR part 765. Funds for
reimbursement will be provided from
the Uranium Enrichment
Decontamination and Decommissioning
Fund established at the Department of
Treasury pursuant to section 1801 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
