National Center for Education Statistics
In general, data governance refers to the overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, quality, and security of data. A sound data governance program includes a governing body or council, a definition and allocation of authority, a defined set of procedures, and a plan to execute those procedures. This brief offers best practices for establishing and maintaining a P-20W+ data governance structure. It includes examples from states with experience setting up P-20W+ data governance. [This brief is a product of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Grant Program.]
