Bob Nelson served as the leader of the Fresno Unified School District for seven years before becoming assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Fresno State. 

Fresno Unified trustees quietly doubled their own pay during a January meeting, using vague bylaw changes that didn’t disclose the new amounts all while retirees scrambled amid stalled healthcare negotiations and the district faces a $59 million deficit. Workers and union leaders blasted the move, saying frontline staff face cuts and layoffs even as board members boost their own compensation.  

Teachers, classified staff, and parents spoke out at a Fresno Unified board meeting, strongly opposing planned layoffs and job freezes. Classified workers warned the cuts would undermine classroom support, student transportation, and campus safety, putting schools and students at risk.
