3 Reasons Your NJ School District Had High Drug, Alcohol Rates
One drug was added to the list – and it's a big one whose usage is on a sharp rise. And that wasn't the only reason why numbers were high.
New Jersey school officials expressed surprise – and some had strong words – for the publishing of statistics that showed a number of school districts had dramatic increases in substance-abuse cases this past year.
Patch identified the three main reasons they expressed below, and one of them centers around a relatively new substance that has raised concerns statewide: vaping.
New Jersey has released its annual list of substance-abuse cases reported by each school district, revealing the most recent data of reported cases. Patch published the list of school districts with the highest to lowest number of cases in 2017-18.

Patch also published the lists of the school districts with the highest increases – and biggest reductions – in cases from the previous year, between 2016-17 and 2017-18, which were the most recent years available.

A number of suburban areas, meanwhile, showed sharp increases. Indeed, Freehold Regional had the highest increase in cases between 2016-17 and 2017-18, with 96, more than doubling its total. Middletown and Hillsborough also had among the highest increases, with 40 and 36, respectively.
But here is what school officials were saying about those statistics:
Teen vape usage was added to many of the numbers
Kia Bergman, community Outreach Coordinator for Hillsborough Township Public Schools, said teen vaping has helped drive the numbers up since many districts now count e-cigarette use as susbstance abuse.
"Recognizing that teen vaping was fast becoming a serious issue not only in Hillsborough but around the country, the Hillsborough Board of Education implemented one of the most stringent anti-vaping/e-cigarette policies in the state," she said. "The policy went into effect on January 2, 2018. Part of that district-wide policy includes the identification of all vaping devices and materials as drug paraphernalia."
Like Hillsborough, Rebecca Policastro, communications and district projects coordinator for Freehold Regional, said her district has also faced issues involving students using vapes.
"We have tried to combat this issue through parent information sessions and letters to our community," she said. "In addition, if a student is identified as having an issue, both the student and the parent meet with our student assistance coordinators for support services."
Please note that Patch did not include school districts that had no reported cases; we also didn't include school districts that had no increase or decrease in cases on the second list.
Some districts have high enrollment, so they should be evaluated on that basis
Policastro said her district's numbers are high, but it's essentially comprised of the largest high school district in the state, with over 10,500 students. Patch provided a list, per 100 students, of the school districts with the highest rates of violence, weapons, vandalism, substances and bullying combined.
"To compare us to a K-12 which has one small high school is like comparing apples and oranges," she said. "The 148 incidents do not reflect 148 students. There are cases of repeat infractions. But for arguments sake, had the 148 incidents represented 148 students, which again it did not, it would still be less than 1.5 percent of our total student population."
You could call into question a small number of reports
The state Department of Education has cautioned that these numbers are reported by each district, so each jurisdiction is responsible for reporting its results fairly and accurately. But they are required by law to report them.
They acknowledge, however, that not everyone does. Indeed, two or three districts routinely don't.
Here is the list of districts with the highest rate, per 100 students, of violence, weapons, vandalism, substances and bullying combined:
