Join the Board

The National Assessment Governing Board oversees and sets policy for the Nation’s Report Card, also called the National Assessment of Educational Progress or NAEP. The Governing Board is an independent, nonpartisan board that determines the subjects and content NAEP assesses, sets achievement levels, hosts the release of results, and works to ensure findings are relevant and useful to stakeholders nationwide.

The Governing Board annually solicits nominations for open Board categories with selected members appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Check back in Summer 2026 for information on the next campaign.
