During the first closed session

the Governing Board will receive a
briefing from the Nominations
Committee on its recommendations for
candidates to fill board vacancies. The
Governing Board will review the
recommendations for the final slate of
candidates for submission to the
Secretary of Education for appointments
that begin October 1, 2021. These
discussions pertain solely to internal
personnel rules and practices of an
agency and information of a personal
nature where disclosure would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy. As such,
the discussions are protected by
exemptions 2 and 6 of § 552b(c) of Title
5 of the United States Code. The
Governing Board will take a short break
to transition to the next closed session.
On Friday, March 5, 2021, the second
closed session will take place from
12:35 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. Peggy Carr,
Associate Commissioner, National
Center for Education Statistics, will
provide a briefing on the NAEP Budget
and Assessment Schedule. The briefing
and Governing Board discussions may
impact current and future NAEP
contracts and budgets and must be kept
confidential to maintain the integrity of
the federal acquisition process. Public
disclosure of this confidential
information would significantly impede
implementation of the NAEP assessment
program if conducted in open session.
Such matters are protected by
exemption 9(B) of § 552b(c) of Title 5 of
the United States Code.
The Governing Board will meet in
open session thereafter, from 1:55 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m. From 1:55 p.m. to 2:00
p.m., the Governing Board will discuss
and take action on two agenda items—
an updated NAEP Assessment Schedule
and on finalists for Governing Board
vacancies for terms that will begin on
October 1, 2021 for submission to the
Secretary of Education for consideration
and appointment.
From 2:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., the
Governing Board will receive updates
from two standing Task Forces
established by the Governing Board—
