More Than $40,000 Invested in Innovative Teaching Across the District
At Toledo Public Schools, innovation begins in the classroom. Thanks to more than $40,000 in Creative Impact Grants—and additional Career Tech funding supported by Fifth Third Bank—TPS educators have been able to bring bold, hands-on learning experiences to life this year.
These grants empower teachers to implement creative, student-centered projects that enhance engagement, support diverse learning needs, and make education more meaningful. From sensory integration to music and career-readiness, the range of initiatives reflects the imagination and dedication of TPS educators.
