Hillside Public Schools is pleased to announce significant progress in our partnership with the Township of Hillside to tackle the critical issue of vaping in our community. This initiative aims to protect our youth and promote community wellness.
Under the leadership of Ms. Mullins, Hillside District Student Assistance Coordinator, and Superintendent Glover, alongside 1st Ward Council Member Andrea Hyatt, who championed the ordinance with the Hillside Township Council, have raised awareness and implemented solutions. The Hillside Police Department, New Jersey Statewide Student Support Services (NJ4S) and Prevention Links have actively engaged students and community members on the dangers of the vaping epidemic.
A key outcome of our collaboration was the successful Hillside Community Forum on Vaping, leading to the Hillside Township Council's adoption of a new ordinance on August 4th, 2025 (ordinance #O-25-14) which addresses vaping and the illegal sale of vaping products in the Township of Hillside. Hillside Public Schools remain committed to prioritizing student safety and well-being.
