UCLA has decided to put a hold on plans to expand the UCLA Lab School to South Los Angeles and the Pico-Union district near Downtown.

Tuesday host Pete Griffin talked with UCLA Lab School principal Jim Kennedy about the impact of the university’s decision to not expand the program into low-income communities.
