Day 41

The two sides met for only two hours yesterday, which probably isn't a good sign — but they're actually meeting again today, which probably is. Now that the logjam seems to have finally been broken, the most frustrating part is the waiting, to see if there will be any progress made or not. Meanwhile, the district is using their fancy automated phone-dialing system to tell everyone that school will start tomorrow, when there's absolutely no chance of that actually happening, as the teachers won't even see any sort of agreement, let alone get to vote on one, until tomorrow.
