NJ School Districts With Most Drug, Alcohol Cases: New Data 2019
UPDATED: You'll be surprised to see which NJ school districts now have the most — and least — drug and alcohol cases, according to new data.
A number of New Jersey school districts had dramatic increases in substance-abuse cases this past year as drugs and alcohol continue to be a pervasive problem in the state's cities and suburban areas. And teen vaping may be driving up the numbers, school officials say.
New Jersey has released its annual list of substance-abuse cases reported by each school district, revealing the most recent data of reported cases. Below are the lists of the school districts with the highest to lowest number of cases in 2017-18.
Below that are 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.

While some city school districts, such as Newark, routinely appear at the top of the list, others, such as Lakewood, have seen a sharp drop in the reporting of drug and alcohol cases over the past year.
A number of suburban areas, meanwhile, showed sharp increases. Indeed, Freehold Regional (see list below) 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.

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.
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."
Rebecca Policastro, communications and district projects coordinator for Freehold Regional, 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.
"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."
Like Hillsborough, Policastro said, Freehold Regional has 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."
