Description: We review recent actions taken to increase transparency of the California Research and Education Network (CalREN), which serves the higher education segments as well as K-12 education, and the High Speed Network (HSN), which serves K-12 education. Most importantly, Chapter 552, Statutes of 2006 (AB 1228, Daucher), increased transparency and strengthened accountability of HSN. We recommend the Legislature further protect the state’s interests by enacting legislation that extends these transparency and accountability measures to CalREN and the higher education segments.
