"State OKs Newfield's break with Buena district", ''[[Gloucester County Times]]'', June 17, 2009. "The Board of Education here can sever its three-decade tie with Buena Regional School District, New Jersey Commissioner of Education Lucille Davy has ruled. The move will begin in the 2010-11 school year.
