Known for more than 40 years as the California Educational Data Processing Association (CEDPA), CETPA changed its name to the California Educational Technology Professionals Association (CETPA) to more accurately reflect the changing roles and responsibilities of K-12 technologists.

CETPA was established in 1960, when the first generation of computers (vacuum tube driven) was giving way to the second generation using transistors. Fast forwarding to the present, K-12 technology systems encompass all aspects of administrative and instructional information processing requirements. The association’s goal is to increase information sharing and communication among K-12 technologists on technology-related issues.
