About 42% of New York City public school students are Latino, and they represent the largest demographic in the nation's largest public school system. Chancellor Aviles-Ramos, the current leader of the city's public school system, is also Latina herself. Aviles-Ramos is a lifelong educator, having worked inside the NYC Department of Education for nearly two decades. She joins Tiempo to discuss resources for Latino students and their families. Also on our program, a first look at "Clemente," a new documentary about the life of the late legendary baseball player Roberto Clemente. The film features a who's who on prominent baseball stars.
