the Charge to the NAEP Science Framework Panels.
The Governing Board will meet in closed session from 11:30 a.m. to
2:00 p.m. to participate in the NAEP Budget Workshop. This session must
be closed to the public because the budget discussions pertain to
current and future NAEP contracts and must be kept confidential to
maintain the integrity of the federal acquisition process. Public
disclosure of this confidential information would impede implementation
of the NAEP assessment program if conducted in open session. Such
matters are protected by exemption 9(B) of Sec. 552b(c) of Title 5 of
the United States Code.

second closed session from 2:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. to receive and
discuss results from the NAEP Achievement Level Descriptor Study in
Mathematics and Reading. This briefing must be held in closed session
because study results are not yet public. Public disclosure of secure
results would impede implementation of the NAEP assessment program if
conducted in open session. Such matters are protected by exemption 9(B)
of Sec. 552b(c) of Title 5 of the United States Code.
The May 13, 2022 session of the Governing Board meeting will
