Data Landscape for K-12 School Districts.
Data Governance for K-12 School Districts
Data governance is a critical aspect for organizations across various industries, and K-12 school districts are no exception. In K-12 education, data governance encompasses managing and organizing data related to student performance, administrative processes, financial information, and regulatory compliance.
Implementing robust data governance practices within K-12 school districts is essential for several reasons:
Enhance student outcomes
Streamline administrative processes
Financial transparency and accountability
Compliance with laws and regulations
Security and privacy of student data
Foster a data-driven culture
Interoperability and data sharing
Data Landscape & Analytics Operating Model
This is what we did for a county school board in Georgia (USA).
This blueprint will help you to understand where your data lives and who has access to it so that you can develop an appropriate data strategy or data governance strategy or choose a new data catalog or data platform.
By investing in robust data governance practices, K-12 school districts can optimize their operations, improve the quality of education, and prepare students for a bright future.
