and subject tested, and establishing standards and procedures for
interstate and national comparisons.

to succeed the Board members whose terms expire September 30, 1996. The
expiring terms are in the following categories: local superintendent,
general public (2), testing and measurement expert (2), state
superintendent, and 12th grade teacher.
