Welcome to the Killeen Association of Texas Professional Educators web site. With more than 1,000 members, we are the largest educational association serving the Killeen Independent School District. Believing that it takes an entire community to educate children, our "all inclusive" membership policy includes teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, retirees, teacher trainees, college students, and the general public. All we ask is that you be interested in the education of children. We are part of the 115,000 plus member Association of Texas Professional Educators, the leading educators’ association in the state and the largest independent association for public school educators in the nation.

This summer, don’t forget to update your contact information with the ATPE state office if anything has changed. We don’t want you to miss any important association information. You can update your contact info by visiting atpe.org and clicking on the cream-colored Members: Update Your Contact Information button. You may also e-mail ATPE Member Services or call (800) 777-ATPE to submit updates.

If you’ve changed districts, it’s important to note that your ATPE membership doesn’t transfer with you. You need to let the state office know the name of your new district and submit a new application in order for you to continue receiving the great ATPE membership benefits on which you’ve come to rely.

Also: The updated 2010-11 ATPE online membership application is now available at www.atpe.org/JoinATPE. Here you’ll also find a PDF version you can print to mail in with your payment or choose the payroll deduction option.

While you enjoy your hard-earned time off this summer, remember that advocating for your profession is a year-round job. Read on to find out how ATPE makes your role as a public education advocate easy.
