Governance & Policies
A coordinated statewide data governance program is critical to fulfilling the demand for high-quality education, health, and workforce. Data governance refers to the structure, policies, and procedures of how data are collected, stored, transferred, and used. It ensures the availability, usability, quality, privacy, and security of the data.
The RILDS governance program involves three representative governing bodies—the RILDS Board, a Data Governance Committee, and the Data Stewards Advisors. Since RILDS is a partnership between the RILDS Center and the Participating Agencies, each group is comprised of staff from Participating Agencies and is coordinated by the RILDS Center.
RILDS Board
The RILDS Board is responsible for prioritization and policy approval. It is co-chaired by the Commissioner of Postsecondary Education and the Director of the Department of Administration. This Committee meets bi-monthly.
Data Governance Committee
The Data Governance Committee evaluates and approves data requests. It includes one representative from each Participating Agency. This Committee meets monthly.
Data Stewards
The Data Stewards are responsible for metadata and data quality. They convene as necessary.
