Evesham Township Mayor andBaltimore Ravens kicking coachRandy Brown said it might be oneteam versus another in the NFL,but when it comes to municipalgovernment, everyone is on thesame team with the same goal – keeping residents safe.
With that idea in mind, Brownand Voorhees Township MayorMichael Mignogna have an-nounced that Voorhees Townshipwill now also be participating inthe Evesham Saving Lives pro-gram.
For the past several months,the initiative has allowed intoxi-cated Evesham residents to getfree rides home from all 19 alco-hol-serving establishments inEvesham rather than drivinghome drunk.
Similar to how the program op-
erates in Evesham, Voorhees resi-dents who visit any of the nine es-tablishments in Voorhees thatserve alcohol can now also re-quest a free ride to their home inVoorhees between the hours of 9p.m. and 2 a.m. through thesmartphone applications of pri-vate taxi services Uber and BE-MYDD, the latter of which canalso bring home a resident’s vehi-cle. When using the apps, users
will see a “safe ride” option at thebottom of their screen.
Additionally, the expansion of the program between the twotowns also means Evesham resi-dents who visit Voorhees estab-lishments can now request a freeride home during the program’sdesignated hours, and Voorhees
residents who visit Evesham es-tablishments can do the same.
The program first started as apilot program in Evesham in Sep-tember and has been lengthenedseveral times, with this newestexpansion running in Eveshamand Voorhees from Dec. 18through Jan. 15.
Brown and Mignogna said theinitiative will be funded withoutthe use of taxpayer dollars, as hasbeen the case since the programfirst started, with funding contin-uing to instead come from privatedonations from businesses, com-munity organizations and privatecitizens.
According to Brown, morethan 800 Evesham residents haveused the program rather thandrive home drunk since the pro-gram’s start.
Before the program started,nearly 60 percent of those arrest-ed for DWI in Evesham were Eve-sham residents, but now thatnumber has dropped to around 5percent.
Of the 12 Evesham residentswho have been arrested in townfor DWI during the program'sfirst 100 days, only two of thoseresidents were driving from anyof the 19 locations in Eveshamwhere the program is available.
Although Brown said he is aRepublican from Evesham inBurlington County andMignogna is a Democrat fromVoorhees in Camden County, anylist of differences between thetwo communities would benowhere near as long as the list of
their similarities.As such, Brown said it was
wonderful to expand the programto Evesham’s neighbor.
“The leadership behind us, theteam that the mayor and I haveput together, to put this EveshamSaving Lives Program inVoorhees is amazing,” Brownsaid.

Months after students lastschool year took the new Partner-ship for Assessment of Readinessfor College and Careers standard-ized test, the Evesham TownshipSchool District was able to releasethe district’s scores at its Dec. 17Board of Education meeting.
Last school year, PARCC re-
placed the state's formerly admin-istered New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge test for stu-dents in grades three througheight.
Through the test, which wasentirely computer based, stu-dents were tested in English lan-guage arts literacy as well asmathematics.
Students' PARCC scores couldfall on any one of five PARCCscoring levels, with scores of ei-ther level four or level five beingequivalent to the former profi-ciency scores of the NJASK.
However, according to Eve-
sham Superintendent John Scav-elli Jr., as this was the first year of the test, New Jersey officials said

it was believed a majority of stu-dents in the state would score oneither level three or level four.
"If there's a 'passing point,' if you will, it would be level fourand above," Scavelli said. "Thestate did anticipate, though, thatmost children should be withinthe level three or level fourrange."
For the English language artsliteracy scores of grades threethrough eight, Scavelli said Eve-
sham did follow the pattern asoutlined by the state, with the ma-
jority of its students falling with-in levels of three or four.
However, Scavelli also notedthat with the scores for gradesthree through eight in Englishlanguage arts literacy, in allgrades Evesham had a higherpercentage than the state averageof student scores on those “pass-ing point” levels of level four and
level five."We did exceed in every grade
level the state percentages," Scav-elli said.
For the mathematics scores of grades three through eight, Scav-elli said Evesham again followedthe pattern as predicted by thestate, with the majority of Eve-sham students' scores fallingwithin the level three or fourrange.
In all grades except fifth-grademath, Evesham again had a high-er percentage than the state aver-age of students scores on those“passing point” levels.
"Again, most of our students
fell within that level three to fourrange, and overall we did exceedthe state in every area exceptgrade five, so that is an areawhere we will pay particularfocus in the upcoming year, but inevery other area we did exceed,"Scavelli said.

The 2014-2015 school year marked themaiden voyage of the new standardizedtest the Lenape Regional High School Dis-trict will be using instead of the HighSchool Proficiency Assessment – the Part-
nership for Assessment of Readiness forCollege and Career test.
The state Department of Educationadopted PARCC assessments for studentsin grades three through 11.
Statewide, high school students in
grades nine through 11 took English lan-guage arts assessments and mathematicsassessments in algebra I, geometry and al-gebra II.
Students at all four LRHSD schools tookthe PARCC assessments. The tests were ad-ministered in March and May.
Superintendent Carol Birnbohm said
the district's staff provided quiet, gentleencouragement for all students to take thetest. However, the district did not single outstudents for refusing the test, as it will notbe a graduation requirement for studentsin high school until 2019.
A large initial concern of parents in thedistrict had to do with what would happento these kids who decided against takingthe test.
A group of parents attended a boardmeeting after the PARCC testing was im-plemented to encourage the district to passa policy for students choosing to opt out of
the PARCC test, so the students would nothave to “sit and stare.”
Their message was heard and the dis-trict did not enforce a “sit and stare” policy.
LRHSD reveals PARCC results at meetingLenape Regional High School District will also be sending students’ scores home

Since September, Evesham Town-
ship has been helping to save
lives – quite literally, in its
words. That month, the township
launched a pilot program funded en-
tirely through private donations from
businesses, groups and even citizens
that provided residents of the town
with a free ride home from a township-
based bar or restaurant if they had too
much to drink.
The program, called Evesham Sav-
ing Lives, partnered with popular DD
services such as Uber and BeMyDD to
keep potential drunk drivers off the
streets.
The program worked well in the ini-
tial pilot stage, and so, it was expanded
another month. And then another. And
another. In the program’s first 100
days, officials said 800 residents used
the service. Only two of the Evesham
residents arrested for DWI during that
time came from any of the 19 locations
in town where the program is avail-
able. Before the program started, near-
ly 60 percent of those arrested for DWI
in Evesham were residents of the
town. During the program, that num-
ber dropped all the way to 5 percent.
Last week, Voorhees Township, Eve-
sham’s next-door neighbor but across
county lines, partnered with Evesham
to jump on board the program. Now,
residents of either township can get a
free ride home from any establishment
in either town to keep them from mak-
ing the dumb decision of getting be-
hind the wheel while they are im-
paired.
This new partnership is set to run
through Jan. 15, with donations fund-
ing it through that time. Evesham
Mayor Randy Brown, a Republican,
has said he’ll make sure it continues in
his town indefinitely, and Voorhees
Mayor Michael Mignogna, a Democrat,
is happy to offer the program as well.
The Saving Lives program is a won-
derful example of bipartisan politics:
A Republican-controlled town govern-
ment in one county partners with a De-
mocrat-controlled town government in
the next county over to do what gov-
ernment is intended to do – help keep
its constituents safe.
This is a highly commendable pro-
gram – one that works, both in theory
and in practice. The two town govern-
ments should be thanked, but so, too,
should the generous unnamed busi-
nesses, groups and residents who have
provided the donations to run it.
Now, the next step should be expan-
sion again – maybe with the help of
more towns, counties or even the state,
who could provide funding so private
donations weren’t needed.
Let’s make this happen.
in our opinion
DD program should expandTowns, counties, maybe even sta te should look at Evesham, Voorhees initiative

While the results of the PARCC
testing were revealed to the pub-lic at last week’s LRHSD Board of Education meeting, student par-ticipation results were not provid-ed by the state Department of Ed-
ucation and there was no analysison how participation rates couldimpact school and district per-formance.
However, the Department of Education shared some informa-tion last spring, inferring thelargest percentage of studentswho did not participate in thePARCC in New Jersey were highschool students, with the greatestnumber of test refusals occurringin 11th grade.
LRHSD students in gradesnine, 10 and 11 exceeded orequaled statewide percentages of students scoring Level 4 or betterand average overall scores for allEnglish language arts assess-ments.
District-wide math results var-ied by subject. LRHSD algebra IIresults exceeded the state averagepercent of students scoring Level4 or better while LRHSD algebra Iand geometry results were belowthe state average percent of stu-
dents scoring Level 4 or better.Justin Smith, the district’s as-
sessment, accountability andplanning coordinator, noted ap-proximately 33,000 New Jerseystudents took the PARCC algebra
I and/or geometry assessment inmiddle school. Those advancedstudents’ scores do not factor intoLRHSD’s outcomes.
“A more equitable comparison
for PARCC algebra and geometrywould be to compare the LRHSDaverage to the New Jersey aver-age of students in grades ninethrough 11 and not the entire co-hort of algebra and geometrytest-takers in New Jersey,” Smithsaid. “This comparison, of LRHSD scores to scores of onlyhigh school students in New Jer-sey, revealed the LRHSD met orexceeded the New Jersey averagepercent of students scoring Level
4 or better for both algebra I andgeometry.”PARCC establishes a specific
emphasis on measuring collegeand career readiness.
Due to the drastic differenceand increased difficulty inPARCC testing, the board is en-couraging folks to avoid compar-ing these results with the HSPAand past standardized tests.
“PARCC is a whole new ballgame, a clean slate in terms of as-sessment,” Smith said. “There is
no comparison to the HSPA and,tempting as it may be, parentsand students should not makecomparisons to past standardized

Evesham Police Chief Christo-pher Chew believes police officersare never truly “off duty.”
That belief certainly held truein Evesham on Dec. 7 when twodetectives with the State Policewho were technically “off duty”subdued an individual with areplica gun at Van Zant Elemen-
tary School.To honor the detectives fortheir de-escalation of a potential-ly violent situation, EveshamTownship Council used its Dec. 15meeting to award a proclamationto Marlton resident TimothyLong and his partner Phil Conzaof the NJSP Moorestown Bar-racks.
During the council meeting,Chew recounted the incident atVan Zant, which he said began onDec. 7 at 3:49 p.m. when Evesham
Police started receiving 911 callsreporting a male armed with ahandgun had been observed inthe yard of the Van Zant school.
At the same time Evesham Po-lice were receiving those callsand dispatching officers to thescene, Long’s wife was at theschool to pick up their children,at which time she also saw themale with the gun and immedi-ately contacted her husband.
In what Chew describes as anact of luck, Long and Conza werenearby at the time of the inci-dent.
According to Chew, Long andConza arrived at the scene slight-ly earlier than Evesham officers,and without hesitation jumpedout of their car, chased the sub-
ject and tackled him while Eve-sham officers placed the subjectin handcuffs.
Reports from Evesham policeafter the incident identified thesuspect as a 14-year-old Marltonresident, with those reports alsostating it wasn’t believed the sub-
ject intended to harm anyone, ashis weapon was determined to bea replica gun and the subject com-mented to police he hoped theywould shoot him in a suicide-by-cop type of situation.
“Luckily, these two troopers got
there first, whom I believe de-es-calated the situation because theywere not in uniform and wereable to tackle the suspect prior tous engaging a shooter incident, sothese two individuals should becommended for their act,” Chewsaid.
Reading from a proclamation,Mayor Randy Brown said Longand Conza’s swift actions prevent-ed the incident from escalating
and successfully protected thesafety of the surrounding publicand all parties involved.
“Det. Long and Det. Conzashould be commended for theirimmediate responses to the inci-dent and their excellent coordina-tion with Evesham Police Depart-ment,” Brown read. “These offi-cers exhibited exceptional dis-

PARCC scores will act as anothercomponent of how the district
evaluates its students’ growth inthe future.
"We will continue to use this in-formation as well as our other as-sessments as well as the class-room performance to assess ourstudents as we move forward,"
Scavelli said.In other news:As a result of the school lock-
down incident at Van Zant Ele-mentary School on Dec. 7, wherea young male was spotted in theschool’s yard with a replica gun,the board approved a resolutionthat gave Scavelli authorization
to develop a revised school re-source officer agreement with theEvesham Township Police De-partment for the 2015-2016 schoolyear.
After the incident, the town-ship paid for the cost to place po-lice officers in all schoolsthroughout December, and MayorRandy Brown has renewed callsto have police officers remainthere on a permanent basis.
Should the district and town-ship agree to a new plan withcosts shared between the town-ship and district, the BOE wouldthen vote on that plan at a latermeeting.
Scavelli said for the 2016-2017school year or beyond, any con-tinuation of the plan would thenwork its way through the dis-trict’s normal, annual budgetprocess.
All board members voted forresolution except Elaine Barba-giovanni, who said she agreed
with having police officers inschools, but felt it was the town-ship’s responsibility to providefor that protection, and thereforefelt the township should pay allassociated costs.

test results. PARCC is a more rig-orous test than the HSPA and ismore closely aligned with theSATs and other college entranceexams.”
Birnbohm said Common Coreand PARCC’s increased difficultyis not different from changes thestate has made in standardizedtesting in the past.
“We have a history of increas-ing rigor in our standards,” shesaid.
Birnbohm described PARCC asan opportunity for students to
perfect their skills. She notedother tests such as the SAT arebeing aligned to Common CoreState Standards in 2016 and willfeature questions similar to
PARCC.“This is another chance for
them to practice and show theirproficiency,” Birnbohm said.
LRHSD is now actively en-gaged in reviewing and analyzingthe first year PARCC data andpreparing for the 2016 and futurePARCC assessments, with an em-phasis on student success.
“Our data team is workingwith the administrative teams ineach of the schools to ensure they
understand and communicateabout PARCC in general and put
the results in context,” Birnbohmsaid. “Teachers will be able to uti-lize our new common planningtime, built into the new four dayrotating schedule, to analyze
PARCC data, our curriculum andour pacing guides.
“We understand this is a newassessment and there will begrowth over time, but most im-portantly, we understand thePARCC is only one measure of astudent’s success. We rely onmany indicators (teacher input,class grades, PSAT, AP, etc.) tohelp shape a student’s program inorder to support all of our stu-dents in reaching their goal of ei-
ther two graduations (high schooland then college) or a career.”

play of teamwork, professional-ism that reflects highly upon thetradition of police work.”
Brown also thanked the offi-
cers in his own words as a fatherof two daughters in the district,with his wife also teaching there.
“I can say thank you, and Iknow there are many parents inthis district who would love to saythank you,” Brown said. “On be-half of them and Evesham Town-ship Council, we say thank youfor your actions.”
Upon receiving the proclama-tion, Long thanked the townshipand said as a resident it was anhonor to receive an award fromhis town.
“Everyone here should feel ex-tremely comfortable with how theschool and police responded. Iam,” Long said.
Before the incident at VanZant, the Evesham Township Po-lice Department and EveshamTownship School District had ashared services agreement whereeach would pay half the cost of providing four, part-time Eve-sham officers to act as resource
officers for the district duringschool days.
After the incident, the town-ship placed police officers in all of the district’s schools throughoutDecember, with the hope of com-
ing to a long-term agreementwith the district to continue thearrangement.
Brown said township managerTom Czerniecki and Superintend-ent John Scavelli were engaged in
discussions, which he said wouldhopefully come to fruition soon.
Brown also noted that since theincident, St. Joan of Arc Schoolhas also agreed to become part of the program.

Mignogna echoed Brown’s sen-timents, calling the program agreat idea and one that wouldhelp keep residents safe.
“It takes police time that wouldnormally be spent on DWI arrestsand allows those cops to use theirtime on other safety measures,which I believe is very importantand is another reason why our po-lice departments are so in favor of this program,” Mignogna said.
According to Voorhees Chief of Police Louis Bordi, roughly 30percent of Voorhees DUI arrestsper year involve Voorhees resi-
dents, and another 12 percent in-volve Evesham residents.
From seeing the results Eve-sham has had with the program,Bordi said he and his departmentwere excited to have it brought toVoorhees.
“Anything steeped in safetylike this and giving people op-tions rather than driving afterthey’ve had some drinks or givingthem options when they don’tnormally have them is a win for
us,” Bordi said.While the program is sched-
uled to last through Jan. 15,Brown and Mignogna said each is
hopeful it would continue pastthat date.
“Based on what has happened inEvesham, we believe that the pro-gram will be successful, and wewill find a way to continue withthat program,” Mignogna said.
Specifically for Evesham,Brown said the program wouldlast as long as he was mayor.
“I’ve made that commitmentnow. We can make this programwork,” Brown said.
