Data Quality & Governance Lead - Education Impact

We are education professionals working and learning together to optimize the governance, quality, and application of data, thereby improving the delivery of educational opportunities to students across the Commonwealth.

In partnership with the Data Quality Network (DQN), we have a local Data Quality Council that addresses how districts can improve the quality of their data through effective data governance. This ensures that data accurately describes your staff and schools. It minimizes the amount of time spent correcting and resubmitting PIMS data. Most importantly, it ensures that data-informed decisions lead to effective instructional changes and improvements.

Membership in the Data Quality Council group is open to all staff members with any role or responsibility related to the production, collection, entry, submission, or application of PIMS data. That includes PIMS administrators, data entry personnel, special education and curriculum supervisors, principals, superintendents, teachers, and even board members.
Information regarding monthly meetings can be found at  under “Meeting Info.” You can also download the monthly meeting flyer for the 25-26 school year.

Monthly meetings are held to allow members to:

• Discuss issues with PIMS, data collection, and usage
• Develop a data quality user manual that addresses the roles of all members
• Create a timeline for the collection and submission of data
• Receive updates on the PIMS system.
