The ATPE PodcastBreaking Down the 89th Texas Legislature's Regular Session and Its Impact on Public EducationThe 2025 Texas legislative session was one of the most politically charged in recent memory. With pre-election pressure and influence from outside interest groups shaping the agenda, lawmakers clashed over key education issues and long-standing policy goals.
For the first time, voucher legislation became law in Texas, marking a significant shift with major implications for families, educators, and school districts. ATPE Governmental Relations Monty Exter explains the political machinations that ultimately broke through the public education community’s wall against vouchers, what it means going forward, and how quickly the effects might be felt.

In an age where virtual meetings and webinars are more accessible than ever, why should you still consider showing up in person? Whether it’s for professional development, networking, or simply feeling a deeper sense of connection, these face-to-face moments can offer something uniquely impactful.
Joining the conversation is ATPE Engagement & Learning Specialist Andrea Hutlock, who recently attended SXSW EDU 2025. She shares reflections on what makes face-to-face experiences so energizing and meaningful, including thoughts on those spontaneous hallway chats and casual meetups that often leave the biggest impact....2025-05-1526 minThe ATPE PodcastUnderstanding FMLA and Protected Leave for EducatorsHave you ever wondered what it means for an educator to be "protected" while taking time off for medical or family reasons? Understanding what that entails is crucial when faced with a family emergency. This includes knowing the steps to request FMLA, eligibility requirements, the types of medical conditions that qualify, and the amount of leave you are entitled to under the law. Key benefits, such as job security during an absence, are also important to understand. Additionally, it's essential to know how Temporary Disability Leave (TDL) differs from FMLA and the potential consequences if an employee exhausts both...2025-03-2732 min

Greg Abbott on School Voucher LegislationIn his push for voucher legislation, Gov. Greg Abbott recently released a list of arguments made by public education advocates against school voucher programs. By labeling these legitimate concerns as “myths,” the governor has created a misleading narrative that can confuse voters about the true impact of school voucher legislation.
Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to critically evaluate these claims and look beyond the rhetoric to understand the real-world consequences for Texas schools and students. Join us as we dive deep into the governor’s arguments, carefully fact-checking each one to uncover the truth behind his clai...2025-02-2727 minThe ATPE PodcastUnderstanding Educator Leave PoliciesAs educators, taking time off when life requires it is a necessity. However, navigating the policies around leave can often feel overwhelming. For Texas educators, understanding the intricacies of leave types and policies is key to ensuring both your rights and responsibilities are respected.
You might have heard the terms “discretionary” and “nondiscretionary” leave thrown around, but do you know how they are typically applied and when they can be used? Are you changing districts and want to know if all or any of your leave will roll over? How about the difference in state and local leave an...2025-02-1227 minThe ATPE PodcastREPEAL! Victory on the WEP and GPOOn Jan. 5, President Joe Biden signed into law the Social Security Fairness Act, the result of more than 40 years of ATPE advocacy. The law repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), two offsets formerly in Social Security law that unfairly reduced the retirement benefits of some public servants, including many Texas educators.
David Pore, ATPE’s federal consultant and a partner at Hance Scarborough LLP, joins ATPE Marketing and Engagement Director Kate Johanns to discuss this momentous victory and the grassroots advocacy that resulted in the Social Security Fairness Act’s passage in the...2025-01-1644 minThe ATPE PodcastParental Access to Education in Texas—What You Should KnowUnderstanding parental access to a child’s education in Texas is essential for public educators as it shapes how you engage with families and navigate the legal landscape surrounding education. Although parental involvement is encouraged, educators should be aware of important legal limitations and protocols regarding access to records and classroom visitation.
Parents have a fundamental right to access their children’s educational records, which include grades, assessments, and disciplinary records. This right is guaranteed under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law designed to protect the privacy of student education records. Under FERP...2024-10-3023 minThe ATPE PodcastPower in Numbers: How Voting in the General Election Benefits Public EducationWhether you're a teacher, an administrator, a student, or a parent, your voice matters, and this upcoming election is not just about picking a new president; it’s also about making decisions that affect our education system, funding for schools, teacher salaries, and essential programs.
While Texas educators help to shape the future of Texas, our elected officials, primarily the Legislature, help to shape the present and future of the Texas education system. The policies and budget that lawmakers pass affect almost every part of the school system, and districts all over the state need more resources to...2024-10-0423 minThe ATPE PodcastThe State of Education PolicyIt came as no surprise that the voucher conversation dominated the last legislative session, and as such much of our communications to members over that time frame was dedicated to fighting that battle. In addition to the long regular session, the entirety of the summer and fall felt like all vouchers all the time.
At the end of the day, we were able to hold off vouchers, and that's certainly a positive. Since then, unfortunately, the voucher issue has anything but subsided. Although passing vouchers has become Governor Abbot’s primary, if not only, education policy goal, it...2024-08-0912 min

Many new teachers are transitioning from other careers, and we have seen numerous pathways for certification evolve to better fill growing vacancies. In turn, the rush to certify educators—and do so quickly—has created a bit of a gap between what early educators need and what they are getting.
If we want new educators to succeed and see the teaching profession as a sustainable career, perhaps the answer lies less in recruiting and more in rete...2024-06-1030 minThe ATPE PodcastRunoff Elections—You Must Be Present to WinFollowing a disappointing Texas primary election in March, it appears the Texas House will be far less friendly to public education going forward. Some of these races have been tight, and in such a unique election season, we have seen millions of dollars poured in from out-of-state donors to spread anti-public education propaganda. Originally attracted to Texas races as voucher proponents, these non-Texans continue to run attack ad after attack ad against public education-friendly candidates on issues completely unrelated to public schools.
You’ve heard that voter turnout is the key to getting legislators to listen and ta...2024-05-1614 minThe ATPE PodcastUpcoming School Board and Bond ElectionsYou might be asking yourself, “Didn’t I just vote in March?” Well, we hope the answer to that question is yes, but public education is always on the ballot, and there are two more elections in the month of May that are just as important for Texas educators.
Early voting for the May 4 election runs from April 22–30, and depending on where you live, you might have a school board trustee, bond, and/or an appraisal district board election on your ballot.
Bond dollars finance maintenance, new buildings, sports stadiums, technology, and more.

Andrea Hutlock joined the ATPE team in the Marketing & Communications department in January.

Greg Abbott’s private school voucher agenda. Although the Legislature did not pass a voucher program, it also did not pass any increases in school funding, including funding for teacher pay raises or funding to help with the costs of implementing the regular session’s school safety bill.
So, what is the likelihood Abbott will call another special session, and is there any indication another vote on voucher legislation would turn out differently? And what ever happened to the school funding bill...2023-12-1428 minThe ATPE PodcastSocial Media Behavior for EducatorsAs the popularity of social networking has grown, so too has the potential for its misuse. As an educator, you are held to a high standard of conduct, even when you are engaging with social media platforms outside of school, and expecting teachers not to use social networking is not realistic or fair. There are many educational benefits to engaging with these platforms as well.
With all the issues educators encounter in this digital space, it is important to know what social media behavior is considered appropriate and what can get you into trouble, as there can...2023-11-1619 minThe ATPE PodcastSpecial Session Preview: The Fight Against Vouchers Is Just Getting StartedWith the 88th regular legislative session ending months ago and a special session beginning soon, lawmakers continue to battle over the future of public education policy in Texas. Again, private school voucher legislation will be the focus, and the magnitude of educator engagement will likely determine the results.
In the regular session, ATPE testified on a number of bills and worked with legislators in both chambers and on both sides of the aisle to craft and pass meaningful legislation. With the help of engaged educators from all over the state, we were able to reduce accelerated instruction...2023-09-2716 minThe ATPE PodcastNew Physical Restraint LegislationIn June, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 133. This new law prohibits the physical restraint of public school students by peace officers and school security personnel under certain circumstances.
So what is meant by the phrase “physical restraint”? In this context, physical restraint involves an emergency situation where physical interaction is a last resort. Texas law defines “restraint” as the use of physical force or a mechanical device to significantly restrict the free movement of all or a portion of a student's body.
Physical restraint is an issue that has long been discussed in the Legislat...2023-09-1217 minThe ATPE PodcastFirst Amendment Rights for EducatorsWhat do First Amendment rights look like for educators, and how much protection do those rights provide in schools and other public forums?
You’ll often see statements paraphrasing court opinions that educators and students don’t shed their First Amendment rights when they go to school. This may be true, but the protection the First Amendment provides isn’t absolute and can depend on the situation. Teachers and other educators are almost uniquely impacted by the First Amendment because not only are they individuals, but also they are employees, and their employer is a government entity.

This deadline is particularly important for you when under contract in a district where you do not plan to work during the upcoming school year. For districts with a first instructional day in August, the penalty-free resignation deadline will be sometime in mid- to late June or early July. For districts on a year-round calendar, the deadline will be earlier.
If you resign after that date without being released from your contract, it is...2023-06-1508 minThe ATPE PodcastLegislative Update: Vouchers, Testing, and Teacher PayWith the 88th Legislative Session soon coming to a close, lawmakers at the Capitol are battling over the future of public education policy. And with a historic budget surplus at their disposal, educators are hoping this will be the year the Legislature will approve a substantial across-the-board pay raise, but time is running out. Several bills have been proposed in both the Senate and the House to address the need for teacher retention, but the little compensation they offer is, of course, nowhere near enough.
Rather than fund the public education system, the Legislature may also choose...2023-05-1821 minThe ATPE PodcastT-TESS Summative EvaluationsOnce a year, Texas mandates that teachers receive a performance appraisal, and for most teachers, this is known as the T-TESS—short for Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). By now, you have likely received at least one required 45-minute formal T-TESS observation or a walkthrough by your appraiser with written feedback. It’s important for you to familiarize yourself with the T-TESS cycle and be aware of any changes or modifications to the T-TESS rubric prior to getting evaluated.

As lawmakers debate bills that directly impact your profession and your benefits, it is more important than ever that you engage with your elected representatives on these issues.
Remember, you are the experts in the field of education. No one understands classroom challenges and opportunities better than you. Your unique and valuable insights can help ensure that policies are informed by the needs and aspirations of students and teachers and that they have a positive impact on public education.

The laws that govern this process were designed to protect both educators and students, but like most laws, they can be both complicated and highly dependent on circumstances. In situations regarding physical assault, drug possession, or other serious infractions, the law calls for mandatory student removal. But on what grounds can a teacher request discretionary student removal? What does this process look like, and who makes the final decision?

The truth is that nothing in any of these bills would expand the rights of parents to choose where they send their child to school. Proponents of these bills would like to see the narrative shift to hide their actual goal of transferring money from public education coffers to the pockets of privately owned organizations.
Historically, the Texas Legislature has shown bipartisan opposition to voucher programs...2023-02-1626 minThe ATPE PodcastEducators as Mandated ReportersMandated reporter laws are extremely important for the health and safety of our students. These requirements apply to all educators because of their unique position to identify possible child abuse or neglect. In Texas, mandated reporters cannot delegate these duties to an administrator or counselor and failure to report within the prescribed timeframe may result in criminal and/or civil liability. So what legally constitutes abuse or neglect, and what should educators do when they find themselves in a situation where they are unsure if a child is in danger?

As the voice of educators at the Capitol, ATPE’s goal is to educate lawmakers on your priorities and support your interests.
This session, we expect vouchers and privatization to be a prominent issue, and educators will need to come together with a strong, unified voice to oppose bills that would siphon money from public schools. Other concerns, such as...2023-01-1225 minThe ATPE PodcastAppropriate Student-Teacher RelationshipsAs an educator, establishing and maintaining positive student-teacher relationships is an important part of the job. Building this rapport is known to support student growth, motivation, and student learning outcomes.

So what does an appropriate educator-student relationship look like, and how does the Educators’ Code of Ethics address the issue?

Since 2015, Texas school districts have been able to adopt the DOI designation in order to exempt themselves from certain legal requirements of the Texas Education Code. DOIs purport that this additional flexibility and local control allow them to better serve their students and even staff. But DOIs have opened the door to questions regarding teacher contracts and certifications. What sort of protection do educators working in DOIs have from other exemptions that could affect their schedules, class size...2022-09-2611 minThe ATPE PodcastTRS & Social Security: How Do They Play Together?The Teacher Retirement System (TRS) is a state agency that falls under the authority of the Texas Legislature, and the retirement benefits it provides are available to all public school employees. Social Security is a federal program providing benefits for which you may also be eligible at retirement, depending on your employment history. If you have paid into both systems, or your spouse has paid into Social Security, you need to be aware of two Social Security offsets that can reduce the benefits you receive—and how ATPE has long advocated for reform of these offsets.
