The Paso Robles Public Educators (PRPE) was formed in 1997 as a result of the unification of the Paso Robles Elementary Teachers Association affiliated with the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the Paso Robles Federation of High School Teachers that was affiliated with the California Federation of Teachers (CFT). Therefore the PRPE is one of only three unions statewide that is merged with our members being members of the CTA, the CFT as well as the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The other two merged locals are the United Educators of Los Angeles (UTLA) and the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF).
