Caddo Federation of Teachers & Support Personnel

CFT/SP, like all AFT locals around the country, works hard to elect friends of education to political office.  Every day, elected officials at home and in Baton Rouge and Washington, D.C., make decisions that impact Caddo’s teachers, children and families.

In Baton Rouge, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers pushes hard for funding for school employees and education.  The LFT is vigilant in protecting educators’ interests on issues ranging from taxes and state budgets to children’s health and collective bargaining.

At the national level, AFT and its local unions work hard with local and state boards and the U.S. Department of Education to tailor No Child Left Behind legislation and other education laws to the needs of teachers, support staff and children in the classroom.
