1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose The is designed as a reference guide to help Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) employees become familiar with Data Governance as implemented by KSDE and to inform them of associated responsibilities and processes. This includes the Data Governance Board, the Data Request Review Board, and Data Steward Workgroup. This document outlines the structure of the including critical roles and responsibilities. In addition to an overview of the KSDE Data Governance Program, this document includes handbooks for each of the major roles: Data Governance Board member; Data Request Review Board member; Data Steward. 1.2 Overview Organizations have long had processes in place for managing financial and physical assets including equipment, money, land, personnel, etc. However, more and more organizations are recognizing the importance of managing data and information as an asset. KSDE has implemented this in recognition of the critical nature that data plays in the business of education. Version 5.0 Page 1 3/05/2014

2 Relationship and Roles of Data Governance KSDE s includes specific relationships among the components of the program, and requires that Data Governance participants follow the defined escalation process for effective communication. 2.1 Escalation Data Stewards and Programmers have day-to-day responsibilities regarding data. Issues that may arise related to these responsibilities are escalated to the Data Manager or Data Coordinator. If this individual cannot resolve the issue, then it is escalated to the appropriate Data Owner. If the Data Owner is unable to resolve the issue, it is escalated to the Data Governance Board for resolution. The Data Governance Board may escalate issues to Executive Leadership which has ultimate responsibility for resolution. Alternatively, for issues that may arise regarding a data request, escalation is to the Data Request Review Board, then the Data Governance Board, and finally, to Executive Leadership, if necessary. The Commissioner of Education has full authority over all actions, decisions, and processes. Version 5.0 Page 2 3/05/2014

2.2 Area of Responsibility The Commissioner has overall authority for all areas, subjects, reports, and requests for data at KSDE. For postsecondary data this includes upholding the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) established between KSDE and the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR). This responsibility is delegated to the Data Governance Board for action, execution, and management. The Data Governance Board is made up of Data Owners each with responsibility for the data within his/her area of responsibility at KSDE. The Data Owner s responsibility may be delegated to Data Stewards and Programmers, with assistance from the Data Manager or Data Coordinator for action, execution, and management. The KSDE Director of Information Technology is the Data Custodian. This individual is responsible for ensuring the safety and integrity of data in the custody of IT. 3 Data Governance Board 3.1 Mission The mission of the KSDE Data Governance Board (DGB) is to establish and enforce policies related to agency data management. Guiding Principles: Ethics and security will be a part of every decision the group makes. Members have the authority and commitment to make policy recommendations and decisions. Members will bear in mind legal considerations, including Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), when making decisions and taking action. Data quality considerations will be taken into account when making decisions and taking action. 3.2 Scope The scope for the Data Governance Board considerations includes all data across the agency. This includes: source data collections; KSDE Enterprise Data Warehouse; reporting access including federal and legislative, local, and research requests; security and confidentiality of data; data verification; deadlines; communication regarding data and policy; establishing certification requirements, and master data management. 3.3 Data Owners KSDE s Data Governance Board is made up of Data Owners as well as others at KSDE with a high level of responsibility regarding data. Data Owners have specific responsibility regarding data as outlined in the KSDE IT Security Policies Handbook. Version 5.0 Page 3 3/05/2014

Data owners are directors of teams which are responsible for applications and their associated data. They are the individuals responsible for ensuring protection of, and authorizing access to, applications and their associated data. The Data Owner is responsible for and authorized to: define and approve all access to information and computing assets under his or her responsibility; judge the value of the data assets and identify the data classification; regularly review each application s data access and classification; communicate each application s data access requirements and data classification to the data custodian; and safeguard the confidentiality, privacy, and security of any information that has been entrusted to his/her team for business purposes. 3.4 Members Responsibilities All members* of the Data Governance Board are responsible to: attend and participate in scheduled Data Governance Board meetings. If the individual is unable to attend it is his/her responsibility to send a representative so that the program area is represented. report to the Data Governance Board regarding data issues, new data regulations, and new policies affecting data; communicate with their program area teams regarding activities and decisions of the Data Governance Board; and support and advocate data management and governance practices to agency staff. *The postsecondary Data Governance Board member has these responsibilities only when postsecondary data are involved. 3.5 Goals and Objectives The Goals of the Data Governance Board are to: achieve consistency in collecting and reporting data across various Agency teams and source systems; achieve high quality data in our collection, analysis, and reporting; ensure policies and processes for adequate security and protection of data are in place, ensure transparency in our data processes, and respond in a timely manner to data issues that are escalated to the Data Governance Board. 3.6 Voting Process Data Owners each have one vote on the Data Governance Board (see Appendix 6.4 for a list of DGB Participants). The teams with Data Owners (see Section 3.3) are: Career, Standards and Assessment Services Child Nutrition and Wellness Information Technology School Finance Early Childhood Special Education and Title Services Teacher Licensure and Accreditation Version 5.0 Page 4 3/05/2014

In addition, the Directors of the following teams with specific data responsibilities also are voting members on the Data Governance Board: Fiscal Auditing Office of General Counsel The Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) has a standing member of the Data Governance Board who has one vote for issues and policies which impact postsecondary data. In addition, the KBOR vote carries full veto power on any issue involving the use of postsecondary data. For example, if the majority of KSDE Data Governance Board members vote to approve a motion but the KBOR member voted against it, the motion would fail. Should any voting member request additional information regarding an issue that is being voted on, that additional information will be provided before the vote is finalized. 3.6.1 Proxy Should any voting member of the Data Governance Board not be able to attend and/or participate in a vote, that member can appoint a proxy to vote in his/her stead as long as the Data Governance Board recorder or facilitator has been notified of the proxy designation before the vote takes place.
