Brouhaha in Brooklyn: Live-blogging the PEP’s school closure vote

Tonight’s school closure vote is underway in Brooklyn. Anna and Maura are on the scene and will be providing dispatches until the meeting’s bitter end.
12:45 a.m. I’m just going to go ahead and say it: Don’t expect Remainders tonight.
12:40 a.m. Just a reminder that there are a number of items on the PEP’s agenda that don’t involve school closures. One of those is the space plan for PS 15 and PAVE Academy in Red Hook. Julie Cavanagh, the PS 15 teacher who tried to win the right to picket outside Mayor Bloomberg’s house last week, explained why she’s still out on a school night: “I am going to make them look me in the eye when they vote.”
