Reported Bullying, Violence Incidents Decline Again In NJ Schools

A recently released state report shows that New Jersey schools saw a decline across the board in bullying, violence and weapons incidents during the 2013-14 school year.  The Violence, Vandalism and Substance Abuse in the School Report shows there were 19,167 total incidents in the five major categories. This represents an amazing 9% decrease from last year.

According to the state report, once schools were first required to document and investigate bullying allegations and investigate them back in 2011, bullying incidents have since been nearly cut in half.

Bullying incidents specifically dropped 16% from the 2012-2013 school year and 46% since the 2011-2012 year.
