CAREER PROTECTION & SUPPORT

No other Texas educators’ association matches the protection offered by ATPE. Our Educators Professional Liability Insurance Policy includes up to $8 million in professional liability insurance, the broadest coverage available*, as well as extensive employment rights defense insurance.* Plus, ATPE employs more staff attorneys than any other Texas educators’ association.**

We are here to help. If you have job-related legal questions or concerns, browse this section for information on topics such as certification, evaluations, employment issues and more. Eligible members can ask for help by calling (800) 777-ATPE (2873) or using our simple private contact form.
