Commissioner's Annual Report to the Education Committees of the Senate and General Assembly on Violence, Vandalism and Substance Abuse in New Jersey Public Schools, July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017
New Jersey Department of Education
This report presents information provided by New Jersey public schools for the 2016-17 school year on incidents of violence; vandalism; weapon offenses; substance offenses; and harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB). The information is presented annually by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) to the Governor and Legislature to fulfill the requirements of the "Public School Safety Law" (N.J.S.A. 18A:17-46 through 48), as amended by P.L. 2010, c.122. This report is divided into two main sections: "Key Findings" and "Programmatic Response." In the "Key Findings" section, the NJDOE presents incident counts reported by schools by the main categories of violence, vandalism, weapon offenses, substance offenses, and HIB. Other incident characteristics, such as location and gang-related offenses, are also reported in this section. In addition, a review of disciplinary action and details specific to HIB investigations, incidents, trainings, and programs, are also included. In the "Programmatic Response" section, NJDOE responses and objectives are provided in relation to developing and maintaining safe and supportive schools in New Jersey. [For the 2015-2016 report, see ED590617.]
