Statewide Data Governance Academy

Starting in 2026, LEAs will be eligible for Differentiated Assistance (DA) based on CALPADS data quality. Persistent and routinely cited data quality challenges at California’s LEAs center on siloed work and a lack of coordinated, enterprise-wide data governance. This program provides actionable strategies to help leaders implement the structures, policies, and accountability needed to elevate data quality in CALPADS and across the enterprise.
The Data Governance Academy consists of three sessions offered in five regions throughout California. Session 1 will take place in October 2025.
