Despite extensive NCES assistance, however, the panel concluded that there is insufficient information to completely understand NAEP's costs and connect them to key parts of the program. 1 After a prepublication version of the report was provided to IES, NCES, and NAGB, this section was edited to remove an incomplete comparison with international assessment costs; reflect a broader range of costs related to management, planning, support, and oversight; and revise the description of those costs.

The most expensive component of NAEP -- about 28.6 percent of its budget -- is test administration, because of the program's unusual approach to administering the assessment by sending contractor teams and computers to the sampled schools. • NCES should continue to develop its plan to administer NAEP us ing local school staff as proctors with online assessment delivery on local school computers, with tailored support for schools with limited resources (Recommendation 5-1)

. • NCES should not attempt to coordinate NAEP administration with the administration of international tests as a way to reduce costs (Recommendation 6-4)

. As NCES develops the Next-Gen eNAEP platform for assessment administration, it needs to pay close attention to costs for technology support, which account for about 16.8 percent of NAEP's budget.
