K-12 School Membership
K-12 School Membership is open to all Public, Private, and Charter K-12 institutions that have a facilities department and administrator. Becoming an institutional member of APPA can provide your organization with incredible opportunities for professional growth, networking, and access to valuable industry resources. From exclusive publications to discounts on educational programs, membership ensures your institution stays informed and connected within the facilities management community.
When your institution becomes an APPA member, your entire facilities management team gains access to APPA's membership benefits — one annual membership covers all of your employees. You'll also automatically join an APPA region based on your location (regional dues are automatically calculated).
K-12 membership dues are determined based on two factors:
- Independent/Private vs. Public Institution
- Annual Institutional Budget
A table of current APPA membership dues is available below.
