A meeting for parents of students in several local school districts, including Little Silver, is set for Monday night to address a recent spike in heroin deaths.

Monmouth County Acting Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni will be discussing the rise of heroin use in the county between young adults age 18-25, in the auditorium of the Rumson-Fair Haven High School on Monday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m.

The Little Silver School District is jointly sponsoring the meeting with Rumson-Fair Haven High School, Red Bank Regional High School and the Fair Haven and Shrewsbury Elementary School districts.

"Based on the prosecutor’s presentation at my recent county meeting, this is a local problem," Little Silver School District Superintendent Carolyn Kossack said. "We cannot say, 'Not in Little Silver.'"
