What is Data Governance? Data governance is a set of processes that ensures that important data assets are formally managed throughout an organization.
Why have a Data Governance Plan? • Ownership of key data elements is often unclear. • The responsibilities of data owners are not well understood. • Data is often stored in multiple locations with no identified single source for the “correct data”. • Data quality is questionable. • Data availability to the right people is sometimes difficult. • Data is released to the public that is in error.
Benefits • Agreement • Empowerment • Accountability
How we’re implementing a Data Governance Plan? Scope (Deliverables) • Phased Approach (Student Information System, HR/Finance, Other Systems) • Timeline • Roles & Responsibilities Budget (Total Cost) • Actual • In-kind
1st DecisionPhased Approach This year as the School District of Clay County converted to the Focus Student Information System, the School District of Clay County had an excellent opportunity to implement a data governance plan. Other systems such as HR/Finance may be going through upgrades or new implementations in the future.
Roles and Responsibilities In the Data Governance Plan, there are several different roles that work together to make sure that data is handled appropriately and with accuracy.
Director, Information Services The Director of Information Services position is responsible for ensuring that information technology is properly planned for, implemented and effectively maintained to support and enhance business operations and student achievement.
Data Quality Manager This position is responsible for establishing, improving, monitoring, and training on the data management and data quality processes and programs for the organization.

Focus Training/Development In order to prepare for the transition to the full implementation of Focus, Phase II included collaboration between Information Services, District Departments and Schools. As certain processes and tabs were built in Focus, the following process was used in order to make sure Focus is the best it can be for the district.
