Hundreds of Puerto Rico’s schools to stay closed

Education officials in Puerto Rico announced 283 schools will remain closed this summer nearly seven months after Hurricane Maria struck. They say the hurricane has exacerbated the U.S. territory’s economic slump as families continue to depart for the mainland. Danica Coto, a reporter for the Associated Press, joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss what's at stake for those who remain.
