We have a Database manager in our Development office who is .25 percent Technology Department. Her job is to coordinate the 'common fields' between our many databases. This means creating policies and procedures for each database in the school.
The Technology Department is responsible for backups, upgrades, and migrations of different databases.
Each Department that has a database is expected to have a resident expert who is in charge of maintaining data and keep it up to date.
