ATPE-PAC PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT
FOR CANDIDATES AND OFFICEHOLDERS
WHO SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION AND
ATPE'S PHILOSOPHIES. You can make a
meaningful impact by investing in a fund that
ensures that quality public education and your
professional interests are protected during the
next legislative session. And now is a critical
time to donate.
This is already a very competitive and
expensive election year, and it's more important
than ever that we have a strong PAC fund in
order to secure greater representation for our
profession at the legislature. Last year, we barely
survived multiple attacks on public education—
from eforts to do away with teachers' minimum
salary schedule and payroll deduction, to bills
to privatize our schools and send billions of
tax dollars to unregulated private entities. The
well-funded groups that want to destroy Texas
public education will be making an even greater
push in 2017. That's why it's imperative that
ATPE-PAC help our pro-public education allies
this election year, and we need your help.
Current law prevents us from using membership dues for ATPE-PAC,
which is why we rely on voluntary donations.
