DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) Data Governance

Our inter-agency data governance system provides a structure and process by which DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) Participating Agencies work together to securely link and share data. A coordinated statewide data governance program is critical to fulfilling the demand for high-quality education, health, and workforce data.

Data governance includes establishing representative governing bodies that are responsible for developing and implementing data policies and processes. DataLinkCT (formerly P20 WIN) has two Boards – the Executive Board and the Data Governing Board. A Data Stewards Group was established to meet to review policies and data requests as needed. A Resident Advisory Board is in development.
