Here's How Many Bullying Cases Were Reported In Manville

MANVILLE, NJ — The Manville School District reported a total of 10 harassment, intimidation and bullying cases this past year, according to numbers recently released by the state.

It was the 205th highest number of cases, according to state data released for 2017-18. It averaged 6.68 cases per 1,000 students, which was 232nd highest out of 550 school districts in the state.

Bound Brook ranked the highest in both the number of cases and average cases for Somerset County while Bedminster Township and Watchung Hills Regional School District both did not have any reported cases.
