Request for Data

If the parameters of your data needs are not be publicly available please use the data request form below.  All data requests must be reviewed by the Data Compliance Officer, General Counsel, and Data Governance Board.  KSDE’s goal is to fill data requests within 30 to 45 days, however, resource and data availability can affect this turnaround time.  You will be contacted within five (5) days of receipt of your data request for additional information or clarification, and to provide an internal tracking number if required.

KSDE may assess a pre-paid fee of $56.00 per hour spent by agency staff to complete data requests.  This includes the time to process the request, gather the raw data, make calculations, verify the accuracy of the data, and format the data as requested.  All data requests are processed in the order in which they are received.  You will be provided an estimate of the cost to fulfill your request once that determination has been made.
