The State Board of Education (SBE) appointed 13 of the 16 public members, and the other three are appointed, respectively, by the Governor (vacant), the Senate Committee on Rules (Martha Hernandez), and the Speaker of the Assembly (Michelle Herczog). The public members serve four-year, staggered terms and may serve only one full term.

The following outline of activities is provided for convenience only. The actual order of business may be changed without notice by the Commission Chair to accommodate the needs of members, invited presenters, and key staff. Anyone interested in a particular matter should plan on being in attendance for the whole Thursday and Friday, May 3-4, 2012. Timing and order of activities may change. The Full Commission and its various committees will commence, recess, and reconvene as necessary throughout the two-day meeting.
