PBS/Frontline

What’s happening to Latino students in the Rochester City School District with special needs? A recent watchdog report from the Democrat & Chroniclefinds that they’re not only falling behind, but that they’re facing “systemic mistreatment.” On this edition of Need to Know, we examine the issue further.

Also on the show – Rochester has a dozen Sister Cities around the globe in Israel, Lithuania, Italy, Poland and more. What’s the meaning behind these partnerships and can they foster economic development as some say they can? We look into those questions and more.

And a one-of-a-kind patent features groundbreaking technology for motorcycle safety. We hear more from the local inventor behind HelSTAR helmets.
