Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2025 report certifies one program, Vaping Detection System, at 1,986.40 funded and expended, recipient Upper Freehold Board of Education, funded 12/04/2024 (pp2 to 3).
It files the program under Primary Prevention, Education, and Training, with Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention as a further category and the Schedule B strategy Prevent Misuse of Opioids. It gives the problem as high school students vaping in schools and says vaping detectors should help with prevention because of fentanyl laced vapes. Its statement of impact is N/A. The books show what the figure bought. Account G-02-41-508-001 paid the Upper Freehold Board of Education 1,986.40 by check 8556 on 12/04/2024, purchase order 24-01962, described as a contribution to vaping sensors. It is the account's only payment and the certified figure to the cent. The Township produced no invoice, quote or district record showing what was bought. Exhibit E's school entry covers programs or strategies that have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing drug misuse. Vape sensors are not among the uses Exhibit E lists, and no prevention or cessation program using them is documented.
program-misclassification · 4 documents · 10/04/2026The FY2025 report certifies 4,696.18 of unspent and uncommitted settlement funds on hand (p1).
The same page certifies 6,206.77 received since 2022 and 1,986.40 expended from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025. The FY2023 and FY2024 reports certify 0.00 expended. The account's audit trail shows one payment ever, check 8556 of 12/04/2024 for 1,986.40. The most the Township could have held was 6,206.77 less 1,986.40, or 4,220.37. The certified figure is 475.81 more than that. It is the account's Balance YTD, a modified appropriation of 6,682.58 less the 1,986.40 paid. An appropriation is a budget figure, and this one is 475.81 above the money the report says the Township had received.
