Los Angeles, CA: The Full Disclosure Network® is releasing four episodes covering the Los Angeles Unified School District's Belmont Learning Center to be featured on 47 cable systems starting in August 2008.

Experts have estimated cost to complete the school at close to a billion dollars. The school which has been under construction for almost two decades has been renamed a third time and is now called the Edward Roybal High School.
