Contract negotiations between the Fresno Teachers Association and the Fresno Unified School District have stalled and could lead to a strike in the coming weeks, after the union made a series of demands the district found unacceptable, including opening school parking lots for homeless families living in their vehicles.
“While we are committed to ending homelessness, we are doing so through our realm of expertise and partnering with those whose realm of expertise is housing,” Nikki Henry, chief communications officer for the Fresno Unified School District, told The Epoch Times by email on Oct. 5. “We do not plan to open our parking lots as [the teachers’ association] is proposing.”
