The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has a cross-agency coordinated data governance structure to promote data quality, appropriate data use and data security. KDE publishes aggregated data to give stakeholders information on performance of public schools and a variety of education characteristics in Kentucky. The primary sites to view and access Kentucky's education data are Kentucky School Report Card and Open House.
KDE Data Governance Team
KDE's data governance team is led by DeDe Conner, chief data officer. The team is responsible for approval of new data collections, changes to existing data collections, and training and direction to data stewards. Each KDE office is represented on the team.
