   About CETPA

After more than 40 years with the same name, the California Educational Data Processing Association (CEDPA) recently changed its name to the California Educational Technology Professionals Association (CETPA). The name change was approved by the association membership at the conclusion of the 42nd annual CEDPA Conference held October 16-18 in Palm Springs. Approximately 700 people attended the event.

 The CETPA board recommended the name change to more accurately reflect the changing role and responsibility 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. Association membership is growing and currently stands at approximately 1,200 members. 

The association’s quarterly trade journal, DataBus, has a       circulation of approximately 2,250 and is available on our website.
