State data on students who are excluded from taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress, as well as those who are given special help or accommodations during the tests, will be featured more prominently in NAEP reports, starting this fall.

The board will also consider ways to standardize exclusion procedures nationwide, beginning with exams scheduled for 2009.
