Data Governance • The essential notion behind establishing a K-12 data governance system is that decisions are only as good as the data on which they are based. • As we transform data into information to facilitate wise decision-making, users and managers of K-12 data need to establish data definitions, data and process ownership and authority, accountability, security, and reporting needs and requirements. • The goal of the K-12 data governance effort is to bring clarity and understanding to these issues.
Data Governance • To achieve this, we have taken action on several fronts in Washington • Defined the business problem • Obtained Executive sponsorship • Established a Data Governance Group and Data Management Committee • Data owners and stewards • Adopted a Data Governance Manual
