The 2003 SREB Annual Meeting was held June 22-24 in Austin, Texas. Highlights include:

The just-released NAEP reading results contain good news for the South. Of 16 states with statistically significant improvement from 1998 to 2002 in fourth grade reading, for example, half are SREB states. This was the point made by a banner at lunch on June 23. The speaker at that luncheon was Darvin Winick, chairman of the National Assessment Governing Board.
