assessed, developing assessment frameworks and specifications, 
developing appropriate student achievement levels for each grade and 
subject tested, improving the form and use of NAEP, developing 
guidelines for reporting and disseminating results, and releasing 
initial NAEP results to the public.
    The Governing Board's Nominations Committee fulfills the 
responsibility of making recommendations for potential candidates to 
fill Governing Board vacancies for terms of service established by law 
in various Governing Board categories. Following the Nominations 
Committee recommendations and Governing Board action, the final slate 
of candidates is submitted to the Secretary of Education for 
consideration and appointment to serve on the Governing Board, as 
defined in Section 302, Public Law 107-279; see https://nagb.gov/about-naep/the-naep-law.html.

for the position of Chief State School Officer. This delegation of

of Education for consideration and action to meet the October 1, 2018

term of service (term expires on September 30, 2018) of the former
