The Fresno Teachers Union appears to be headed into a strike as a deadline has passed and Fresno Unified School District has begun promoting its $500-a-day pay for substitutes.

Superintendent Bob Nelson said students remain the district’s top priority, so substitutes are needed to keep schools open during a potential strike.
