A dyspeptic update: (though any news source is more reliable than this one and you've probably already heard about it from one of thems) the fishy, almost wholly Bloomberg appointed Panel for Educational Policy voted to move forward with those school closings last night. The four votes against the motion came from Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Manhattan councilmen, the lone figures not appointed by our mayor. Thousands of students and teachers and parents showed up to voice grievances. The meeting/vote was adjourned around 4 A.M...also, here's a very clear Times piece from yesterday, that paints an only marginally dire picture.
