PAEA - Palo Alto Educators Association
The Palo Alto Educators Association is the exclusive representative of the certificated employees of the Palo Alto Unified School District. We have around 900 members and are affiliated with the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the National Educators Association (NEA).
As an association, we are dedicated to ensuring the best possible achievement, both academic and social/emotional, of our students. We represent the rights and working conditions of our members and therefore, the learning conditions of students.
Who Is the Teachers Union?
97% of the eligible educators in PAUSD are members of PAEA. Role of the union: When the union takes a position, it comes from our membership. As union leaders, we are proud to speak on their behalf to share their insights and concerns.
