FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – With Fresno Unified School District and its teachers awaiting the results of last Wednesday’s strike vote, there are still a lot of questions about what could happen to after-school sports if teachers do go on strike.

Since many teachers are also coaches they will not be able to cross the picket line to coach athletes.

“Hoovers volleyball team is top-ranked so is Bullards’s water polo team Mclaines football team is making the playoffs for the first time in a while… we are trying to make sure as a system our kid’s lives are as normal as possible,” said Fresno Unified District Superintendent Bob Nelson.

The district is drawing up its own plays to keep high school sports going.
