NEW JERSEY – A number of New Jersey school districts had sizable 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 amid the coronavirus crisis.

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 2019-20.

Below that are the school districts with the highest increases – and biggest reductions – in cases from the previous year, between 2018-19 and 2019-20, which were the most recent years available.

The data was part of the Wednesday release of the 2019-2020 School Performance Reports, which contain a wide variety of information on student demographics.

“We have always stated that the annual School Performance Reports serve as a springboard for discussion,” said Angelica Allen-McMillan, acting commissioner of education. “These discussions are more important now than ever before as students, staff, and others in the school community navigate this difficult time.”

The data was compiled as Gov. Phil Murphy shut down school buildings because of the coronavirus crisis and many districts continue to teach remotely. It's not known what kind of impact the crisis has had on substance abuse, but many fewer districts (93) showed increases in 2019-20 than they did the previous year (242).

While some city school districts, such as New Brunswick, routinely appear at the top of the list, others, such as Paterson, have seen a sharp drop in the reporting of drug and alcohol cases over the past year.

A number of suburban areas, meanwhile, showed increases. Indeed, Mahwah (see list below) had among the highest increases in cases between 2019-19 and 2019-20. Red Bank Regional and Hazlet had among the highest numbers per 1,000 students.

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.

New Jersey school officials also told Patch that teen vaping has helped drive the numbers up over the past three years since many districts now count e-cigarette use as substance abuse.

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.
