We get it: Life gets wild.
But that’s why you need ATPE.
We get it: You switched districts. Your credit card number changed. Or—gasp—you decided to teach without career protection.
Life gets wild … but that’s why you need ATPE.
And that’s why we invite you to rejoin ATPE now for the 2026-27 school year—and lock in this year’s pricing.
Join online by credit card or bank draft by July 31 using the discount code WELCOMEBACK, and you’ll pay this year’s professional dues rate—a savings of $22.
Even better: You won’t pay anything until August, but your professional liability insurance and employment rights coverage*, your insured benefits, will begin July 1.
That means you’ll be covered from day one of your 2026-27 contract.
That’s 13 months of coverage for the price of 12.
ATPE is better than ever
With this special offer, for just over $20/month, your legal benefits beginning July 1 will include:
- Up to $8 million in professional liability insurance, subject to policy limits
- Employment rights defense coverage whether you win or lose your case
Separate from the insured benefits, ATPE’s staff attorneys support eligible members in English or Spanish.
Enjoy the rest of your member benefits as soon as you join:
- Education-focused advocacy from ATPE’s professional lobbyists, fighting for you in Austin and D.C.
- The all-new ATPE Mobile App, offering on-the-go access to an exclusive menu of 25+ member discount programs, plus the ATPE Online Community
- More than 100 on-demand CPE courses
- Unlimited use of ATPE’s AI assistant, Judy
- And more!
