N.J. school district is streaming meetings in Spanish. Others should too, advocates say.

“While a number of New Jersey municipalities have provided live Spanish translation at some local municipal meetings for those attending in person, Camden officials believe they are the first in New Jersey to offer a live online Spanish translation for meetings that residents can watch at home.

“This is groundbreaking for us as a city… when we think of inclusivity and the importance of all voices being heard,” Superintendent Katrina McCombs said.

The live Spanish simulcasts, which will run for at least three months, launched as a pilot with news and media company The Latino Spirit, through a $6,000 grant provided by the Camden Education Fund (CEF), a local non-profit geared toward helping public schools.”
