2 Memorandum to Members of the College Board

Memorandum to Members of the College Board

This is the official call to the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Members to be held in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with Forum 2015. Please visit www.collegeboard.org/forum to view the preliminary program for the Forum, which runs from Wednesday, Nov. 4, to Friday, Nov. 6, 2015.

We continue our focus on our membership at this year’s Forum, with an emphasis on sessions to help you in your daily work and to strengthen our collective voice on matters of equity and access for all students. You are crucial to delivering our mission. Everything we do, from the programs we run, to the mission of our organization, is driven by you. At our founding, 12 member institutions came together to discuss how to reduce confusion about the transition from school to college and to promote access for students from all social and economic backgrounds. The College Board’s mission of increasing access and equity has not changed since those founding colleges met in 1900.

Representatives from member institutions serve on committees and in advisory groups to improve College Board programs and services. At the Forum, you will have the opportunity to hear more about the work of these groups and to contribute to the development of future initiatives to further our shared mission. The annual meetings of the Academic Assembly, the College Scholarship Service Assembly, and the Guidance and Admission Assembly will take place during the Forum.

On Friday, Nov. 6, the Annual Meeting will provide an opportunity for member delegates to speak directly to the elected leadership of the College Board and to have an impact on the upcoming education agenda. Douglas L. Christiansen, vice provost for university enrollment affairs, dean of admissions and financial aid, and associate professor of public policy and higher education, and chair of the College Board’s Board of Trustees, will convene this regular Annual Business Meeting of the association.

The matters for discussion at all four of these business meetings are included in this document. I encourage you to attend these meetings and to contribute to the discussions. Please share the agenda materials with any colleagues who are planning to attend the meetings.

Sincerely,

Dorothy SextonVice President of Governance and Secretary of the Association

Approval of the Minutes of the Oct. 28, 2014, Annual MeetingThe 2014 Annual Meeting of the Members of the College Board was held at the Aria Hotel, Las Vegas, Nev ., in conjunction with Forum 2014 . Maghan Keita, chair of the Board of Trustees, presided .

Welcome and Communications from the ChairMaghan Keita opened the meeting and welcomed the members . He then introduced David Coleman, president and CEO of the College Board; Shirley Ort, vice chair of the Board of Trustees; and Paul Sechrist, past chair of the Board of Trustees .

Mr . Keita expressed his profound gratitude to the members for allowing him to be the chair of the organization, for their commitment to the mission of the College Board, and for their commitment to ensuring access to the finest education that can be afforded to young people in the richest nation in the world . Following a motion, duly seconded, the Assembly

Resolved: To approve the minutes of the 2013 Annual Meeting .

Communications from the PresidentCollege Board President, David Coleman, thanked the members present for participating in the Forum and the Annual Meeting . He paid tribute to each of the following Trustees who would conclude his or her term of service at the end of the 2015 Annual Meeting: Belinda Chung; Karen Francis-Begay; Daniel Rodas; Jay Tucker; Shun Fang Chang; Paul Sechrist; and Maghan Keita . He thanked them for their contribution to the College Board and to the field of education .

Report of the 2014 Trustee Committee on FinanceDouglas Christiansen, chair of the Trustee Committee on Finance, presented the FY2014 performance and trends for the funding of fee waivers and other access programs . AP®, PSAT/NMSQT®, and SAT® programs had all seen growth in participation, but also in fee-waiver rates . This was partly the result of actions taken to promote fee waivers and to make them easier to access — consistent with the mission; however, this does require prudent financial planning to ensure that the College Board can continue to meet full fee-waiver demand . Operating revenues had increased 5 percent over the previous year and expenses had increased 1 percent due to investments in the assessment redesign and other programs . The increase in net assets to reserve is $150 million . There is a healthy amount of current assets available for the College Board to meet its current liabilities, and the net assets/reserves ensure that the College Board can serve its members and fulfill its mission in good times and bad . The size of the reserve fund is in line with practices among healthy nonprofits but is less robust on a relative basis than some peer organizations . The size of the reserve reflects the scope of its financial responsibilities on behalf of students . A key component of the College Board’s mission is the support of low-income students through its programs, and the dollar value of fee waivers could almost double in five years . It’s important to ensure future funding without having to rely on annual operating margin .

Report of the 2014 Trustee Committee on MembershipPaul Weaver, chair of the Trustee Committee on Membership, presented the membership report and the slate of members for election to the College Board . Approximately 25 percent of the current 5,968 member institutions represent higher education; 72 percent represent K–12, and 4 percent represent nonprofit agencies and associations . There is an impressive geographic distribution of the members across all 50 states and 65 countries .

Nov 4–6

Geographically, the applicants were from institutions across the United States and from 14 countries .

Maghan Keita welcomed Douglas Christiansen, the newly elected chair, to join him on the platform . Douglas Christiansen expressed the appreciation of the membership for Maghan Keita’s leadership and his commitment to the College Board over his many years of service to the organization .

Incoming Chair’s AddressDouglas Christiansen stated that since its founding in 1900 the College Board’s vision has been to connect students to college success and opportunity . He said that it is the mission of the College Board to create access and opportunity whenever possible, for all students to attend and be successful in college, and to be the voice for students with no voice . He expressed his gratitude to the Board of Trustees, the Board leadership, and especially to David Coleman for leading the redesign of the SAT, the expansion of the PSAT/NMSQT, and the growth of AP . Christiansen continued by saying that this work would not be possible without partnership with the College Board’s members, who are critical to achieving the mission, and he challenged all members to strengthen their collaboration and partnership with the College Board and to prepare all students by helping them to focus their efforts and to practice hard . Christiansen further stated that college and career ready assessments will be launched and linked to instruction; they will propel all students toward college and career by removing barriers and providing access to opportunities; and that they will reach all students by delivering at scale and ensuring acceptance of and engagement in the College Board’s work . He continued by saying that as an organization, the College Board will thrive by investing in people and in its membership; securing financial strength; and partnering creatively to focus its work and do more for students . The future is bright .

Christiansen concluded by thanking his Vanderbilt colleagues for their support; he also thanked his mentor, Pat Goldsmith, who hired him as an admission counselor 27 years ago .

Forum 2015 5

Nov 4–6New BusinessVice Chair, Shirley Ort, moved for a resolution of appreciation for the retiring Trustees:

Whereas: They have provided individual leadership in elevating the College Board’s service to its members and access to higher education; and

Whereas: They have collectively contributed to realizing the College Board’s strategic vision as a values-driven, market-sensitive, inclusive association championing educational excellence for all students;

Therefore, be it resolved: The members of the College Board salute the following Trustees whose terms of service end with this 2014 annual meeting for their service to members, to their colleagues, and to the many, many students they have served: Shun Fang Chang, Belinda Chung, Karen Francis-Begay, Daniel Rodas, Paul Sechrist, Jay Tucker, and Maghan Keita .

The resolution was approved by acclamation by all present .

With no additional new business to present, and no additional business presented by the floor, Douglas Christiansen adjourned the meeting .

Report of the 2015 Trustee Committee on FinanceVolume growth across many of the College Board’s programs and services contributed to favorable performance for the period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the same time the prior year . Three core programs of the College Board — the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT, and the Advanced Placement Program® (AP) — combined to deliver 12 .1 million tests in this 12-month period . The AP Program in particular grew rapidly, with a 7 percent increase, and aided students in earning college credit or advanced placement in colleges across the country . SAT and PSAT/NMSQT volumes grew as well; 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively, in the same period .

Volumes for the core programs for the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, were as follows:

AP 4 .5 millionSAT 3 .8 millionPSAT/NMSQT 3 .9 millionTotal 12.1 million

Operating revenues for the 12-month period ending June 30, 2015, totaled $869 million, compared with a total of $821 million for the prior year, an increase of 6 percent; the preceding revenue totals are net of fee waivers and discounts totaling

$90 million; a year-over-year increase of 16 percent . Operating expenses totaled $814 million, a 10 percent increase when compared to the prior year’s level of $737 million . This increase in expenses was related to assessment redesign investment and the cost of the increased volumes of programs delivered . The operating surplus was $55 million at June 30, 2015 . Nonoperating revenues, primarily our return on long-term investments, contributed $13 million .

The College Board is currently aligning its fiscal year with the calendar year . To make the transition, the Fiscal Year 2015 will cover the 18-month period from July 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015 . In order to provide an update from last year’s Forum report, this report provides financial information for the year between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015 . For future fall Forums, the report will include the most recent fiscal year .

Statement of the Chair of the Board of TrusteesOn behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I am pleased to welcome you to the 2015 College Board Forum .

The Forum program this year reflects the College Board’s commitment to going beyond assessments to deliver more educational opportunities to students . Our work revolves around the following four strategic drivers, ensuring that students are at the center of every new initiative:

• Prepare students for success through access to high-quality instruction and assessment .

• Propel students toward college and career by working to simplify the college planning process .

• Reach higher by providing high-quality programs and services for students .

• Thrive as an organization by strengthening relationships, services, and communication to better serve the needs of students .

The College Board’s programs and services focus on improving assessment and the college admission process; expanding access to financial aid and scholarship opportunities; informing and engaging school counselors; and increasing achievement and college success with rigorous, college-level course work . From redesigning the SAT to establishing meaningful partnerships with organizations like Khan Academy, Code .org, and the National Constitution Center, the past year has truly been transformational for the College Board .

Engaging our vast membership remains a priority; the insight and expertise we gain from the national and regional councils, the national assemblies, and institutional delegates is invaluable . Building on the exceptional work of College Board staff, and the leadership of David Coleman, this input from members is critical to propelling our work forward .

Forum 2015 is an opportunity to network with colleagues and explore new ways to make a meaningful impact on improving education . This year, I encourage all members to attend a session outside of their professional area, have a conversation with someone from a different district or state, and visit the

membership booth in the exhibition hall to see how to become more involved with the College Board .

It is my sincere wish that you have an exceptional experience during the Forum and safe travels on your journey home .

All the Best,

Douglas L . Christiansen, Ph .D .

Chair’s Report

Pamela Paulson celebrated the work of the Assembly and the Assembly Council in urging the development of programs for younger students, particularly the emerging initiative to provide high-quality and challenging work for students in grades 6 to 12 to prepare them for Advanced Placement® programs . She said that the AP Capstone™ program, driven by the Academic and the Guidance and Admission Assemblies and Councils had created opportunities for formative assessment and diverse learning opportunities within the rigorous AP framework . She stated that such initiatives were developed by the College Board as a result of member voices heard through the Assembly, and supported between meetings of the Assembly by their representatives on the Academic Assembly Council .

Communications from the PresidentCollege Board President, David Coleman, welcomed Assembly delegates and praised their commitment to students, learning, and access . He said that evidence proved that when students focused on mastering core skills in a rich content-based curriculum, they were best prepared for the challenges of postsecondary education and employment . He continued by saying that it was his hope that members see the College Board as representing a few things done well, and as a partner in celebrating hard work and excellence . President Coleman stated that in order to change the trajectory of students, earlier action was needed . He said that the single greatest threat to the advancement of AP and the advancement of the United States is the huge number of students who are not ready and who are not getting ready . David Coleman concluded by thanking the Academic Assembly Council for lifting the efforts of the College Board and for the role of its members as academic leaders of the College Board in diversifying excellence .

News from the Data FrontJeff Olson, vice president of Data Science, shared data on student achievement, public and student perceptions of the College Board, and the use of College Board programs and services . He stated that roughly 3 .3 million students will have graduated from high school in June, and 2 .9 million of them have interacted with one or more College Board programs . He said that this presents an amazing opportunity to reach students and to overcome barriers to postsecondary opportunities for the College Board, its members, and its partners . Olson demonstrated data analysis tools that allowed the College Board to map student pathways and decision-making points, which can be used to identify where barriers to access might exist .

Assembly member questions focused on the use of the data and how they can be used to help improve access and student achievement . The opportunities were limitless, but were being explored with caution to ensure that student information was always safeguarded .

Excellence and Innovation in the Arts AwardPamela Paulson announced that the 2014 winner of the College Board Award for Excellence and Innovation in the Arts was Renaissance Arts Academy, also known as RenArts, a Title I public charter school in Los Angeles, Calif ., serving about 360 students, most of whom have had no previous arts experience prior to enrollment .

Students are grouped by performance level, and the school has a 100 percent graduation rate, with 97 percent of the students continuing on to four-year colleges .

Report of the 2015 Academic Assembly Council The Academic Assembly Council meets to discuss matters on behalf of the Academic Assembly, such as: curriculum; articulation; assessment; the governance structure of schools; and sustained professional development; and advises the College Board on programs and services supporting universal access to high standards of learning . The Council has met twice in the past membership year and has discussed the ways in which the College Board can support the daily work of members and their students to access high standards of learning in order to advise the Board of Trustees on priorities for the strategic plan . The Council focused on the opportunities for the College Board to work with members and partners to ensure that students are prepared for college-level work, particularly collaboration between K–12 and higher education institutions .

The Council continues to act on behalf of the Assembly to review and strengthen the College Board’s instruction and assessment programs, in particular, the redesign of assessments to reflect the work being undertaken in classrooms to prepare students for college success and the review of instructional programs . The Council has also contributed to the development of tools to assist schools and districts in identifying students with AP potential and to support them in taking these courses . Further, the Council has continued to support the development of the AP Capstone program as it moved from the pilot to the expansion phase .

The Council has held broad discussions on the expansion of dual-enrollment/early college programs and the equity placed on these programs and on AP credit recognition across the United States of America . The Council continues to support advocacy work to place AP and dual-enrollment/early college programs on an equal footing with colleges who are awarding credit . Council members have also worked to identify and share good practice on combining career certification and AP programs as part of a coherent curriculum in high schools to avoid “tracking” students .

In response to concern expressed by professionals in the field, the Council has considered school, district, state, and federal policies related to testing . The Council was pleased to find that policy was shifting to focus on consolidating assessments that focus on measuring the skills that matter for college and career success . As a result of engagement with professionals through bodies such as the Academic Assembly, it was agreed that the SAT Suite of Assessments, comprising the redesigned SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8, would be well-placed to meet these needs .

*During new business all delegates are encouraged to raise issues for consideration by the Board of Trustees in 2015–2016 .

Minutes of the Oct. 28, 2014, Annual Meeting A meeting of the College Scholarship Service Assembly of the College Board was held at the Aria Hotel, Las Vegas, Nev ., in conjunction with Forum 2014 .

Karen Cooper convened the meeting and welcomed the attendees to the College Scholarship Service Assembly . Following a motion, duly seconded, the Assembly


Welcome and Communications from the ChairKaren Cooper welcomed the College Scholarship Service Assembly delegates to the meeting and shared examples of the Assembly’s and the Council’s successes over the past year, such as the work to develop the College Board’s policy position on the Higher Education Act Reauthorization, the professional development being provided by the Campus Need Analysis Roundtable and Colloquium, and Council discussion of programs and services to support members in their daily work . Karen Cooper welcomed College Board President, David Coleman, and thanked him for his passionate support of access issues and his insistence on keeping financial aid at the center of that conversation .

Communications from the PresidentPresident Coleman shared the messages he had heard from the College Scholarship Service Assembly a year ago concerning the need for a greater connection and meaningful participation in the larger agenda of the College Board; for the College Board to

increase its internal financial aid expertise; to coordinate internal resources and those of members to remove barriers; and to support the development of the next generation of financial aid officers through its support of professional development on the ethics of financial aid . He said that the Reimagine PROFILE project was an important opportunity to strengthen the conversation between the College Board and the financial aid community to ensure that PROFILE remained a strong tool to support access . He emphasized that it was important for the College Board to stand alongside members to secure the future of need-based aid; both in practical terms and in ensuring that resources would be available to make it a reality .

President Coleman continued by stating that the financial aid community had also supported the establishment of direct-to-student fee waivers, which are so transformative for students when they are at the point of applying to college . He concluded by saying that the work of Assembly members to shape the College Board’s position on the Higher Education Act Reauthorization had been influential and would continue to shape the College Board’s advocacy work on this issue .

Using Data to Expand Access and OpportunityJeff Olson, vice president of Data Science, shared data on student achievement, public and student perceptions of the College Board, and use of College Board programs and services . He said that roughly 3 .3 million students will have graduated from high school in June, and 2 .9 million of them have interacted with one or more College Board programs . This presents an amazing opportunity for the College Board, its members, and its partners to reach students and to overcome barriers to postsecondary opportunities . Jeff Olson demonstrated data analysis tools that would allow the College Board to map student pathways and decision-making points, and which can be used to identify where barriers to access might exist . He stated that further surveying work can then be undertaken to try to understand and remove these barriers . Data on the use of net price calculators, the importance of tuition costs, and location in determining where a student applies were shared . Perception data also showed that students and parents often misunderstood the College Board’s motives, which was problematic for the achievement of the mission .

Assembly member questions focused on how individual institutions might be able to use these data to understand the pathway that students take to them . The College Board was currently exploring how it could use these data more widely and at a sufficient level of granularity to be useful, but without compromising the security of student information . Assembly members welcomed this, as the Low-Income Task Force had identified the requirement for students to repeatedly share their information with different services and institutions as a barrier to access . Common fee-waiver policies and data sharing had been identified as a way to remove this barrier, and developments in this direction were warmly welcomed .

*During new business all delegates are encouraged to raise issues for consideration by the Board of Trustees in 2015–2016 .

Minutes of the Oct. 27, 2014, Annual Meeting A meeting of the Guidance and Admission Assembly Council took place at the Aria Hotel, Las Vegas, Nev ., on Oct . 27, 2014 .

Welcome and Communications from the ChairPhilip Ballinger, chair of the Guidance and Admission Assembly, welcomed delegates to the meeting . Following a motion, duly seconded, the Assembly


Welcome and Communications from the PresidentPresident Coleman welcomed the Guidance and Admission Committee to the Forum and thanked them for the daily work they undertake to support students in accessing opportunity . He noted that the generosity and collaboration of member institutions had allowed the College Board to send four application fee waivers to students who had already demonstrated that they were eligible for a College Board fee waiver — supporting the Apply to 4 or More™ campaign . President Coleman said that the response from students had been greatly rewarding for all involved . He reported that the College Board’s “All In Campaign,” to ensure that all students who are ready for AP and college seize that opportunity, had been joined by member institutions and partners such as the Council of the Great City Schools, the National Council of La Raza, and the Urban League .

18 Annual Meeting of the College Scholarship Service Assembly

Forum 2015 19

Nov 4–6President Coleman continued by saying that the Guidance and Admission Assembly had been clear that member institutions and students needed an extra year to prepare for the redesigned SAT Suite of Assessments, and so the College Board had extended the timeline . He said that the coming year would be focused on operational practice to ensure that the new SAT Suite would be delivered effectively and would achieve its stated aims . He further stated that the Assembly’s support for AP Capstone enabled the College Board to create a new framework for AP, providing room for world languages, performance and the arts, and flexible research . President Coleman shared his hope that the College Board, together with members, can support students to focus on a few things that all students must do well, while also creating other opportunities for the variety of excellence that students can show .

Focusing Student Recruitment Efforts and Building a Diverse ClassJeff Olson, vice president of Data Science, shared data on student achievement, public and student perceptions of the College Board, and use of College Board programs and services . He said that roughly 3 .3 million students will have graduated from high school in June, and 2 .9 million of them interacted with one or more College Board programs . Jeff Olson believes that this presents an amazing opportunity to reach students and overcome barriers to postsecondary opportunities for the College Board, its members, and its partners . Olson demonstrated data analysis tools that allowed the College Board to map student pathways and decision-making points, and which can be used to identify where barriers to access might exist .

New BusinessPhilip Ballinger called on past and current members of the Guidance and Admission Assembly Council to stand for recognition . Barbara Gill then moved the following resolution of appreciation for Council members whose terms will conclude on Oct . 31:


Whereas: They have collectively contributed to realizing the College Board Mission;

Therefore, be it resolved: The members of the College Board salute Seth Allen, Joyce Brown, Raul Fonts, Timothy Gamble, Terry Kung, Kevin MacLennan, Marion Paden, Roberto Suarez, and Kasey Urquidez .

The resolution was approved by acclamation .

There being no further new business, Philip Ballinger announced that the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Guidance and Admission Assembly would be held in Washington, D .C ., in conjunction with the Forum, Nov . 4–6, 2015 .

Report of the 2015 Guidance and Admission Assembly Council The Guidance and Admission Assembly Council serves the Assembly by considering issues and actions related to providing educational opportunities for all students at crucial transition points in their lives, addressing issues related to professional ethics and educational standards, and providing advice on College Board programs and services related to such functions as early awareness, precollege planning, assessment, admission, and retention . The Council is composed of representatives from K–12 administration, teachers, counselors, and enrollment professionals, and has met twice during the past membership year .

20 Annual Meeting of the Guidance and Admission Assembly

The Council deliberated on the priorities for the Board of Trustees to consider as part of its strategic planning process, particularly those relating to college planning, admission, and retention . Members also advised on priorities for support to members, particularly the timeliness and appropriateness of college planning information, ways to strengthen the financial literacy of families and the professionals advising them, the implications for students and member institutions of dual enrollment, and recognizing college credit earned in high school .

The Council has been very involved in the development of the AP Capstone program and its transition from a pilot through expansion, and the development of the College Board’s college planning tools such as BigFuture™ . The Council has also provided advice to the Board of Trustees and College Board staff on the information that professionals need in preparation for the launch of the College Board’s redesigned SAT Suite of Assessments, both to support their students and member institutions . The Council was also instrumental in establishing the college application fee-waiver program where four fee waivers are sent to SAT waiver-eligible students along with their test results in support of the Apply to 4 or More™ campaign .
