Which action is a responsibility of the Data Governance Board regarding TEA data collections?

• A. Approving district budgets.
• B. Reviewing requests for new campus or district data collections.
• C. Setting school calendars.
• D. Managing bus routes.

Answer: (B)

Data governance centers on how TEA collects, defines, protects, and uses data. The board’s job is to review and approve proposals to add new data collections for campuses or districts, making sure each proposed collection is necessary, clearly defined, and compliant with laws and privacy protections. This oversight helps prevent unnecessary data requests and ensures consistency and proper handling across districts.

Other tasks like approving district budgets, setting school calendars, or managing bus routes are operational or policy decisions handled by district or TEA administrative units, not the data governance framework.
