Are Fresno schools led by Marshal Dillon or Barney Fife?

I see and read about Superintendent Bob Nelson of the Fresno Unified School District empowering his “brain trust team” of fellow administrators to designate criminal action against the “In The Trenches Team” of teachers should a strike ensue. Unfortunately, instead of measuring up to Marshall Matt Dillon on this one, he comes across more like Deputy Barney Fife!
