The National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) has approved plans to expand the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), commonly known as the Nation’s Report Card, by introducing additional state-level results in 12th grade math and reading, eighth and 12th grade civics, and eighth grade science. The move marks a sharp turnaround from concerns a year ago that the federal testing program could face cutbacks under the Trump administration after staffing reductions and canceled optional assessments. The new testing schedule, approved in a 16-3 vote, would begin rolling out in 2028, with eighth grade civics and 12th grade math and reading results available at the state level. Eighth grade science would follow in 2029, while a revised 12th grade civics exam would debut in 2032. Participation by states will remain voluntary, although NAGB is asking states to signal interest this summer. The expansion comes despite uncertainty over federal funding. The Trump administration’s proposed fiscal year 2027 budget allocates $137m for NAEP, below the $193m Congress has recently provided. NAGB Executive Director Lesley Muldoon said the expansion could proceed without additional funding if Congress maintains current support levels, though nationwide participation from all 50 states could require more resources.

Soaring diesel prices linked to the Iran war are putting severe pressure on already stretched U.S. school district budgets, forcing many districts to dip into reserves, cut spending elsewhere, and reconsider transportation operations. Since December, diesel prices for U.S. fleets have jumped 67% to $5.52 per gallon, according to fleet management technology provider Samsara, adding an estimated $1.8bn to annual school bus operating costs nationwide. The financial strain reflects wider economic disruption caused by the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, which has affected roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies and triggered one of the fastest fuel price increases on record. School bus operators consume more than 800m gallons of diesel annually in the U.S., making districts especially vulnerable to price swings. James Rowan, executive director of the Association of School Business Officials International, said the speed of the increases has made budgeting particularly difficult for schools. “Districts can plan for higher costs, but rapid swings in prices make it very difficult to budget accurately,” Rowan said.
