SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board is authorized by Section 921 of the Educational Research, Development, Dissemination, [[Page 18102]] and Improvement Act of 1994. The Board works collaboratively with the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Educational Research and Improvement to forge a national consensus with respect to a long-term agenda for educational research, development, and dissemination, and to provide advice and assistance to the Assistant Secretary in administering the duties of the Office. The meeting of the Executive Committee is open to the public, except for a portion which will be closed from 3 to 4 p.m. The proposed agenda includes a review of the Board's work plan and budget, staff assignments, committee appointments, and discussion of the Regional Educational Laboratory initiative. The meeting will be closed to the public from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. under the authority of Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C. Appendix I) and under exemptions (2) and (6) of Section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. (Pub. L. 94-409; 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6)) to discuss the procedure for the evaluation of the executive director. The Committee will consider matters that relate solely to the internal rules and practices of the Board and performance of the incumbent in this position, matters which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy if conducted in open session. A final agenda will be available from the Board office on April 11, 1997. A summary of the activities at the closed session and related matters which are informative to the public consistent with the policy of Title 5 U.S.C. 552(b) will be available to the public within 14 days of the meeting.
