The Board has passed 12 formal resolutions since its establishment in December 2004. These resolutions may be viewed at http://ies.ed.gov/director/board/resolutions.asp.
In addition, the Board, in keeping with its statutory responsibilities has reviewed and approved the Director’s priorities
twice (most recently in November 2010) and reviewed and approved the Institute for Education Science’s (IES’s) Procedures
for Peer Review of Grant Applications in January 2006. During FY 2011 the Board passed two resolutions. One resolution recommended
that Congress continue funding the Regional Education Laboratories. The second resolution recommended that when Congress authorizes
Education Department grant programs that it advance the use of evidence of effectiveness in decision-making through the use
of specific funding incentives described in the resolution.Previous Board resolutions passed from 2005 through 2008 made recommendations
to Congress, the Department of Education, and IES related to strengthening evaluation of educational programs, assuring access
for researchers to educational data while safeguarding individual privacy, and the grant award process at IES. Between 2008
and 2011, the Board refrained from passing resolutions due to the large number of unfilled vacancies on the Board. (At one
point Board membership dropped to six members during this period.)
