Former Governor Bryant has been appointed to the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) by the U.S. Secretary of Education. This appointment fills one of the two seats on the board designated for state governors from different political parties. Bryant's selection highlights the ongoing commitment to bipartisan representation within the NAGB, which plays a crucial role in overseeing the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as the "Nation's Report Card."
With this appointment, Bryant becomes the second individual from Mississippi to serve on the NAGB under the leadership of Secretary McMahon. His experience in education policy and governance is expected to contribute significantly to the board's mission of ensuring high standards in educational assessments. The NAGB is tasked with setting policies for the NAEP and providing guidance on the assessment's implementation, making Bryant's role pivotal in shaping the future of education assessment in the United States.
