A 2013 Kentucky law established the Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS) which collects and links high-quality, actionable data from six state agencies to improve education and workforce programs in the state. KYSTATS has a data request hub, which includes a data access and use policy, data-sharing agreement, and a data dictionary to facilitate the exchange of data with requestors, and a Security Policy that contains procedures for securing the confidentiality of the data maintained by KYSTATS. By providing data sets, publishing reports, and fulfilling research requests, the center provides state-specific insights with appropriate data privacy and data access controls.
