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.

Union leaders have said the plan by the district to more than double the pay for substitutes is a sign district brass isn’t looking to compromise to make a deal with teachers.

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