Newark parents push for independent interpreters after superintendent summarizes Spanish testimony

Newark Latino families and labor organizers are asking the school district to require professional interpreters at every board meeting after they say Spanish-speaking parents’ public comments were incompletely interpreted at a recent meeting. Rafael Chavez, a community organizer with the New Labor advocacy organization, said in the absence of a qualified interpreter at last month’s school board meeting, superintendent Roger León stepped in to interpret some parents’ public comments. Chavez told Chalkbeat the issue of interpretation has come up repeatedly at previous Newark board meetings, including at the September meeting where he testified in Spanish without an interpreter. According to Chavez, León omitted portions of parents’ statements that Chavez said criticized how they and their children have been treated in district schools. In a review of the board video , Newark parents Sonia Pangul, Mayra Sanmartin, and Brenda Villatoro Villela can be heard testifying in Spanish about concerns regarding their children’s treatment in district schools and the lack of availability of music, sports, and

Delbarton soccer gets revenge against Seton Hall Prep, moves to final

MORRIS TOWNSHIP — Dylan Mazzarella called it "a full-circle moment," standing on Delbarton's soccer field and celebrating after defeating Seton Hall Prep, 3-2, in the NJSIAA Non-Public A North final. The Green Wave senior reflected back on four years ago, when the roles were reversed. This is Delbarton's first sectional title since 2018 – also defeating the Pirates, but on penalty kicks. Seton Hall Prep (14-7) had topped the Green Wave in the 2021 and 2023 finals, though the Green Wave has a 13-4-2 all-time lead in NJSIAA Tournament matches. "Freshman year, it was sad to go out on this field to Seton Hall, so it was great to beat them," said Mazzarella, a Parsippany resident. "We took advantage early, and they started getting back into the game. Knowing how we prepared, it got us through." Sophomore Cortland Martin figured into all three Green Wave goals, scoring the first two and taking the free kick that classmate Thine Sohn nodded in. A sophomore defender, Sohn had cleared a ball off the line with about two minutes to go before halftime, then scored the eventual game winner less than five minutes into the second half. Martin has five goals in Delbarton's
