On Monday the Los Angeles Board of Education approved Supt. Roy Romer's plans to restructure nine of the district's most troubled secondary schools. Some board members had introduced their own proposals to improve lagging campuses. But they voted to withdraw the series of motions and amendments offered as alternatives to Romer's plans, and instead asked the superintendent for a progress report on the reforms in May. Larry speaks with Supt. Romer, Linda Guthrie, of United Teachers LA, and Steve Barr, Founder and CEO of Green Dot Public Schools about the Superintendent’s plans for improving the schools.
