California K-12 High Speed Network A State Program at your Service EXPANDING K-12 access to rich content resources to enhance teaching and learning ENABLING those resources to be reliably available PROMOTING K-20 collaboration

The Short History , K-12 was added to the California Research and Education Network (CalREN), which previously served the UC and CSU systems through , funding for K-12’s services were passed by University of California to CENIC the State legislature shifted funding to an LEA through the CDE (thereby capturing the expenditure as a Prop 98 expense). To accomplish the shift, CDE issued an RFP and awarded the K-12 High Speed Network to the consortium led by Imperial County Office of Education and including Butte COE and Mendocino COE. In 2006, AB1228 codified the program under Education Code §11800 and established goals for the K12HSN.

The CalREN The California Research and Education Network (CalREN) serves the California K-20 community: State of California’s University of California (UC) system State of California’s State University (CSU) system State of California Community College system Private California Universities that opt to connect The vast majority of K-12 Community

As of November 2013, 88% of California School Districts and almost 7,800 schools (83%) are connected to CalREN through K12HSN In this aggregation model, districts are able to procure affordable connections to one of the 72 K12HSN Node Sites CENIC - CalREN

Key Bandwidth Drivers in K12 Common Core State Standards Technology Embedded in the standards 1:1 initiatives Online Computer Assessments (CAASPP) Transition to off-premise services (cloud) , Student Information Systems, Storage, Disaster Recovery

Themes Increased “appetite” for bandwidth Network traffic growth rate is rapidly increasing Leveraging and increased collaboration amongst education segments Technology embedded in instruction, not to supplement

ConnectED Goals Calls for connecting 99% of America’s students, through next-generation broadband (at speeds no less than 100Mbps and with a target of 1Gbps) to, and high- speed wireless within, their schools and libraries by 2018

Circuit Pricing Example Circuit Size HighLowAverage 45 Mbps(13)$17,776$2,247$7,360 1 Gbps(66) $10,235$2,817$4, Gbps(13)$14,755$5,635$6,517

Simple Math (by 2018) Schools upgrading to 1 Gbps $4,301 monthly x 12 = $51,612 $51,612 x schools = $546.5 M /year E-rate Subsidy (65% average) = $355 M Subject to CTF (35% remaining) = $191.5 M 50% of $191.5M = $95M potential K12 draw
