Board works collaboratively with the Assistant Secretary for the Office

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.

outstanding business in open session and hear reports on the interim

from approximately 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. under the authority of section
10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463; 5 U.S.C.

The Board will discuss plans for future requests for proposals for
OERI's national educational research and development centers and other

significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action.
On January 21 the Board will hear reports from the Assistant
Secretary for OERI and from the chair and executive director. The
Program Committee will report on plans for a conference on middle
schools, tentatively scheduled for July 2000. A final agenda will be
