I'll try to keep you up-to-date as the evening goes on.  I have contacts that I hope will keep me informed.

Different colors are different constituencies in the bargaining unit. Each unit must have a quorum for a vote to occur. Additionally, each building must also have representation, so it can take a while to get to voting...

Waiting to hear...

It's an imperfect end to an imperfect process, but I am glad school will be starting on time.
