Before kicking off

new year, LRHSD BOE
reflects on 2014-2015
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
Out with the old, in with the
new. As the class of 2019 prepares
to begin its high school career,
and the Lenape Regional High
School District gets set to embark
on another year of excellence, officials looked back at the year
that was during last weeks final
board of education meeting before the school year kicks off.
The class of 2015 was a special
one that has gone off in separate
directions to chase dreams but
not before leaving a distinct mark
on the district.
Students from this class earned
an average score of 1591 on the
SAT. This is noteworthy because,
according to the College Board, a
student with an SAT score of 1550
or higher is more likely to get a Bor better their freshman year of
college.
This is indicative of college
success and completion, district
Director of Programs and Planning Matthew Webb said.
The class of 2015 had a graduation rate of 96 percent. This qualifies as above average for Burlington County, New Jersey and the

nation.
Each school has widely celebrated its students college acceptances a number of different
ways, using its websites, videos,
pennants, shirts, tweets and even
ceremonies such as the academic
award night some schools held.
I have to say I am extremely
pleased with our principals and
how they have celebrated their
students college acceptances,
Webb said.
Last school year was also the
best one the district has ever had
in terms of students taking AP
classes and AP tests.
However, academic tests were
not the only thing on which these
students scored highly. Last
years students also scored well
on the harassment, intimidation
and bullying assessment, being
awarded 74 out of 78 potential
points.
Each school has to provide a
self-assessment to the state for review, and once this grade is approved by the state, it has to be
posted on each school's website.

By SEAN LAJOIE
and VITA DUVA
The Sun
According to the Vital Signs report released by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
and the Food and Drug Administration, heroin use is on the rise
across the United States.
While this increase has been
noted among men, women, most
age groups and all income levels,
the greatest increase has been
spotted in those who have not historically been noted for heroin
use women, citizens with private insurance and those with
higher incomes.
Additionally, the report finds
those using heroin are also using
a number of other substances.
And with an increase in heroin
use comes an increase in heroin
overdose. Heroin-involved overdose deaths nearly doubled between 2011 and 2013. More than
8,200 people died in 2013 alone.
Heroin use is increasing at an
alarming rate in many parts of
society, driven by both the pre-

scription epidemic and cheaper,

more available heroin, CDC Director Tom Frieden said.
But where does New Jersey,
and specifically Burlington County, rank in the rise of heroin?
According to data reports courtesy of Zachariah Hosseini, public information officer and
spokesman at the state Office of
the Attorney General, heroin-related deaths are on the upswing.
From 2011-2012, New Jersey
saw a total of 2,239 drug-related
deaths, of which 840 tested positive for heroin. Burlington County faced 122 of those drug-related
deaths, of which 52 were heroinrelated.
And, from 2013-2014, the states
number of drug-related deaths
rose to 2,626, of which 1,221 tested
positive for heroin. Burlington
County alone faced 144 of those
drug-related deaths, of which 59
were heroin-related.
These reports account for the
use of heroin, cocaine and prescription opiates, and include accidents, suicides and undetermined deaths.

Since the introduction of Narcan kits, responses to calls regarding overdoses have been improved.
Once the officer arrives on
scene, he/she needs to quickly determine what the cause is. When
it is determined that the victim is
suffering from an opioid overdose, then the officer will administer Narcan, Lt. Stephen
Riedener of the Mount Laurel Police said. There is no doubt that
the Narcan kits carried by the police save lives. The police are generally the first emergency responders to arrive on scene, so now
overdose victims are receiving
the medication much more quickly than they did in the past.
Every officer in the Mount
Laurel Police Department received training on how to use the
Narcan kits when they first received them, and it is now part of
the training for new officers.
MLPD has used the kit nine times
since July 2014 when they were
first put in service.

Two arrested in accidental shooting

of 17-year-old Mt. Laurel resident
The following information was
provided by the Mt. Laurel Police
Department.
Two suspects were arrested
over the weekend of Aug. 22 after
they were accused of accidentally
shooting a 17-year-old Mt. Laurel
resident.
At 11:16 p.m. on Aug. 22, Mt.
Laurel Police responded to a residence on the 3300 block of Marne
Highway for the report of a man
with a gunshot wound. Officers
located a 17-year-old township
resident with a single gunshot
wound to the chest. The victim
initially reported that he was sitting on his porch when he was

shot by an unknown masked suspect who then ran off. The victim
was transported to Cooper Hospital where his wound was determined to be non-life threatening.
While searching the area, officers located two male suspects on
foot. They were identified as an
18-year-old Mt. Laurel man and a
17-year-old male from Trenton.
Investigators eventually determined that both were with the
victim in his residence. They
were handling a handgun that the
two had brought with them. The
gun discharged, striking the victim in the chest. The two fled the
residence with the gun prior to
police arrival.

Two handguns were recovered

from a vehicle belonging to the
Mt. Laurel man that was parked
in a nearby parking lot.
The 18-year-old was charged
with possession of a weapon for
an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Bail was set at $50,000 with no
10 percent option and he was committed to the Burlington County
Jail.
The 17-year-old suspect was
charged with aggravated assault,
possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a firearm. He was committed to the Burlington County
Juvenile Detention Center.

eroin is a dangerous drug. We

all know that. But for a long
time, it was a drug that remained out of the mainstream, reserved, in many peoples minds, for
the inner cities.
Somewhere, somehow, a few years
ago, though, the awful drug made its
way out of tiny inner circles and has
become an epidemic throughout our
state.
The Department of Human Services
Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services released a report in May
that found that in 2014, 28,332 people in
New Jersey were admitted into substance abuse treatment programs with
heroin or another opiate listed as the
individuals primary drug. Thats almost half of the 64,766 people who en-

tered treatment programs last year.

More terrifying is the significant increase in the number of heroin-related
deaths. In 2009, 351 heroin deaths were
reported in New Jersey, according to
the state Department of Criminal Justice. That number jumped to 449 in
2011, up to 591 in 2012, then 741 in 2013
and finally 781 last year.
The state has been trying to curb
this problem by first giving life-saving
Narcan kits to police departments
throughout New Jersey, and then ex-

panding that program to provide the

kits to anyone police or not who
completes training.
Its great that there is a tool that can
help save the life of someone who has
overdosed on heroin. But saving the
life in that instance does not stop that
person from taking the drug.
The next step in our states fight
against heroin must be more educational and treatment programs, readily available to kids at a young age. Can
we build more facilities and expand
drug prevention education?
The way to stop heroin-related
deaths is to prevent people from using
the drug in the first place. Because,
once they use the drug, its an uphill
battle fighting its highly-addictive nature.

Laurel Police responded to a
residence on Oswego Court for
the report of an unresponsive male locked

However, these kits can only be
helpful once users have overdosed; it has not helped the prevention of using the drug.
I don't think the Narcan kits
cut down on heroin usage. On at
least one occasion, we administered Narcan to the same person
but on different days because
they continued to use heroin.
That person wasn't deterred by
the first overdose, Reidener said.
There is a detailed presentation under the Department of
Health section of the state website that educates viewers on opiates and how to properly administer a Narcan kit if ever faced with

a situation in which they need to

treat an overdose.
For the report, the CDC and
FDA analyzed data from the 20022013 National Survey on Drug Use
and Health sponsored by the
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
and the National Vital Statistics
System.
Approximately 120 people die
each day in the United States of a
drug overdose, DEA Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg
said. The CDCs Vital Signs illustrates two significant factors partly fueling that alarming number
the misuse of prescription drugs
and a related increase in heroin
use. We will continue to target the

hope to complement the crucial
efforts of the CDC and our nations public health agencies.
As far as Mt. Laurel is concerned, the Mt. Laurel Police Department reports that, though it
does not maintain data concerning heroin use or drug-related
deaths, data available from other
sources clearly indicates heroinrelated deaths have been on the
rise in this region over the past
several years.

proud of, Webb said.
Webb is referring to the districts Step Up and ID program
it plans to continue to build on
through seeking teen input.
Our program encourages
every student to walk the walk
and defend their friends and
classmates if theyre ever harassed or bullied for any reason.
It empowers every student and all
four Lenape high schools to stand
up, step up and be an upstander
not a bystander, District Superintendent Carol Birnbohm said.
For the third consecutive year,
all four schools have been deemed
a no place for hate by the AntiDefamation League Program.
Each school will receive its award
for this accomplishment during
the week of respect in October.
Students shined outside of the
classroom as well, excelling in different things such as community
service. Students from across the
district partook in the fifth annual Senior Day of Service last year.
They also participated in a clothing drive for Goodwill, collecting
an overwhelming 56,373 pounds
of clothes to donate to the organization. Cherokee edged out
Seneca in pounds per student and
was awarded a plaque from Goodwill.
We enjoy a friendly competition, but this is for a great cause,
Webb said.
School officials could not say
enough about their excitement
for this year to get underway. The
new schedule was a particular
highlight on this list of new initiatives.
It was a very long, collaborative process that led the district to
this schedule change, a process
that included 48 teachers, 47 students and 23 editors administrators, custodians, sports staff and
child study team members, to

name a few
The district made it a point last
year to focus on communicating
the schedule and finalizing the
details to be ready to roll when
the 2015-2016 year begins on Sept.
8.
We feel there are several benefits to this new schedule, Webb
said.
Increasing instructional time
with longer periods, increasing
staff collaboration, having a common lunch and reducing academic stress are a few advancements
Webb touched on.
The district was also proud to
announce its participation in the
statewide You Got Brains competition. Fifty-nine New Jersey
schools competed in the fifth annual You Got Brains competition
sponsored by the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey.
LDTV won for the third year in
a row and the fourth year in the
last five years of the competition
with its heads up, eyes forward
message.
Distracted driving is one of the
leading causes for brain injuries.
LDTVs message has been displayed on 160 state Department of
Transportation digital message
boards.
The LRHSD is excited about its
new app that will make its debut
this year.
The creation of this app has
been a yearlong process that has
included input from various students. The app includes several
features, such as being able to
customize it to your respective
schools, receiving timely news
from your school, parents being
able to sign up for grade alerts,
parents being able to deposit
money in their childs lunch accounts and parents being able to
view the four-day rotating schedule.
This is just scratching the surface of what this app can do,
Webb said.
As of Aug. 24, there were 4,700
downloads to date, and the board
anticipates that number to rise.

Another project that will be debuting in all four schools this

year is the Project Lead The Way
Program, which was only implemented at Lenape and Seneca last
year. It is a national program that
develops STEM curriculum in
high schools.
STEM is where jobs are today
and where the growth is going to
be, Webb said.
Lastly, the district wanted to
show its gratitude in regard to donation numbers from last year totaling almost $88,000. This adds to
the nearly $2.5 million that has
been donated to the school district since it started keeping track
of donations in 2007.
A large chunk of these donations have gone to things such as
turf fields at Shawnee and Cherokee, and numerous driving simulators for drivers education classes at all four of the high schools.
These donations are publicly
recognized at the monthly board
meetings.
