Toledo Public Schools enroll 29,000 students. The Toledo Federation of Teachers (TFT) represents Toledo's 3,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, and substitute teachers. It was chartered as Local 250 by the American Federation of Teachers in February, 1933 and has continued in existence since that date. TFT first won bargaining rights in 1968.

The officers serve 3-year terms and the 27 directors serve 3-year terms. All officers, directors and reps must sign a pledge not to seek or accept an administrative position during their term of office. The 90 TFT Building Representatives are elected by the members of their schools and programs each May. Each school has an annually elected committee ranging in size from 5 to 7.
