"Security has now entered the building. Emotions running high."
"Board members still sitting, in shock. Crowd leaving, in shock. Everyone in shock. Lots of tears, crying, dismay."
"PCVS students screaming, chanting in hallway."
"The students are coming back in the boardroom, chanting to board members, most of whom remain seated."
"Hey board, so you know, we won't let our high school go!" -- PCVS students chanting over and over.
