The Fresno Unified communications chief who produced a dossier containing alleged attacks by the teachers union against Superintendent Misty Her is now on leave, according to her automatic email reply.

An email request to Chief Communications Officer Nikki Henry on Friday from GV Wire elicited an automatic response stating that she would be on leave until June 9 and had no access to phone or email.

Wednesday’s closed session board agenda includes a “public employee discipline, dismissal, release, reassignment, resignation” item.

GV Wire could not confirm the reason for Henry’s absence. Fresno Unified said they would not provide comment.

“We are not providing further comment,” said communications director Diana Diaz. “Our priority remains focused on our students and our work towards our new goals and guardrails.”

The dossier’s allegations all were shown to be based on fabricated quotes a review of the material by the teachers union and local media revealed.

Fresno Teachers Association President Manuel Bonilla is calling for Henry’s termination after Her admitted that the mistake-riddled dossier was made with artificial intelligence.

He said it was not a case of “minor misinformation.”

“We are not talking about fabricated statistics in a survey or flawed budget projections,” Bonilla said. “This is about the deliberate creation of a document intended to serve as ‘evidence’ of personal targeting — crafted with entirely false quotes, then presented as truth. That crosses a line. When leadership chooses to manufacture accusation to discredit union leaders and then doubles down after being caught, it’s not just a lapse in judgment — it’s a test of the district’s moral and professional standards.”

Her Stands By Document, Admits AI Created It

Henry made headlines this week after the union shared the dossier with GV Wire.

One of Her’s first acts as permanent superintendent was to order the creation of the dossier titled “Instances of Fresno Teachers Association (FTA) Leadership Targeting Superintendent Misty Her.”

She told ABC 30, “It was my attempt to put everything on paper so I can go back and reflect and look at what happened along the way.”

Henry, Her, and Fresno Unified Human Resources Officer presented FTA leadership with the dossier at a May 7 meeting.

The dossier contained 39 fabricated quotes from news reports and emails, according to Bonilla.

In an interview with ABC 30, Her confirmed it was created using artificial intelligence. She said she did not review it.

Neither Her nor Fresno Unified have responded to multiple attempts by GV Wire to speak with the superintendent.

“I want to be completely honest with the public about what’s happening. My comms person did use AI to help generate the document. I didn’t check the document,” Her told ABC 30. She went on to say, “but I will say that the gist of it was there. … ”

Comms Office Directly Attacks FTA Exec Louis Jamerson

Just days before the May 7 meeting, the communications team created a Facebook post attacking FTA Executive Director Louis Jamerson. The post followed one by FTA providing a guessing game about the superintendent’s new salary.

In its post, Fresno Unified mentioned Jamerson’s salary and background.

After that  post garnered hundreds of reactions, many of them condemning the district, the communications team doubled down, saying it was a “deliberate disruption.”

“It was different from what you normally see from us, and that was intentional,” the district’s post stated. “It was a one-time choice to hold up a mirror to the tone and tactics that have been coming from FTA leadership and a small group of vocal detractors for far too long.”
