review and discuss the July 31-August
2, 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 5:30 p.m. to receive
and discuss costs for specific activities
under individual and collective current
contracts, and independent government
cost estimates from the National Center
for Education Statistics (NCES) staff on
various options for proposed item
development, data collection, scoring
and analysis, and reporting of 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 August 1, 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 August 2014 Board meeting
agenda and meeting minutes from the
May 15–17, 2014 Quarterly Board
meeting. This session will be followed
by the Chairman’s remarks. Following
these remarks, the Executive Director of
the Governing Board will provide a
report, followed by updates on the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) and NAEP from the Director of
the Institute of Education Sciences
(IES). Thereafter, the Board will recess
for Committee meetings from 9:45 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m.
The Reporting and Dissemination
Committee, Assessment Development
Committee, and the Committee on
Standards, Design and Methodology
(COSDAM) will meet in open sessions
from 9:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
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 and discuss the NAEP
Report on School Composition and the
Black-White Achievement Gap. 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 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 August 1, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. to
3:15 p.m., the Board will meet in open
session to engage in a question and
answer session with representatives
from the Common Core State
Assessment Consortia. Thereafter, from
3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Board will
meet in closed session to discuss and
take action on the NAEP Schedule of
Assessments. The action will require
discussions on independent government
cost estimates that will likely have an
impact on the NAEP Schedule of
Assessments. 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 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.
On August 2, 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 August 2, 2014, the Board will
meet in open session from 8:30 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. The Board will receive a
briefing on an Inside NAEP series—
Expanding Scales to Improve
Achievement from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Following this session, from 9:30 a.m. to
10:15 a.m. the Board will receive a
briefing on research work on NAEP
Contextual Questions.
Outgoing Board members Brent
Houston, Tom Luna, and David Driscoll
will provide remarks from 10:30 a.m. to
10:45 a.m. The Board is scheduled to
receive reports from the standing
Committees and take action on
Committee recommendations from
10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The August 2,
