📰 News we're reading
• Bergen County school district faces backlash over new coaching policy (northjersey.com) — Cliffside Park’s Board of Education has approved a new policy, effective July 1, that bars district employees from coaching in any school that competes in the same league, drawing strong criticism from coaches’ associations and state athletic leaders. Several Cliffside Park teachers and former coaches say the rule will cost them income and limit already scarce qualified coaches, while questions remain about how broadly “league” will be defined and whether the restriction could face legal challenges. 
• ICE fears are reshaping a generation of N.J. students. Inside the burdens they carry. (nj.com subscription) — Students at Cliffside Park High School joined a February Hudson County walkout protesting ICE enforcement, highlighting how deportation fears are reshaping school life across New Jersey. The story follows several teens juggling classes, college dreams, and adult responsibilities after family members were detained or deported, and explains new state protections that limit ICE access to schools while educators scramble to support traumatized students.
