Andrews, Margot. "School Merger Vote Defeated in Burlco", Courier-Post, December 1, 1971. Accessed April 28, 2021, via Newspapers.com.

Curran, Karen. "High schools in Delran, Evesham ready to open", Courier-Post, August 21, 1975. Accessed March 13, 2022, via Newspapers.com. "New high schools will open in both Delran and Evesham this fall, but the concepts under which each school was built are vastly different. Delran, which had been sending high school students to Riverside, will open its own $6 million high school with 864 students in grades 9 through 12.... On the other hand, if it were entirely Delran's choice, assistant superintendent Anthony Casale thinks his district might have preferred to form a region with Riverside and Delanco. In 1971, the boards of education in the three towns approved and put to the voters a referendum for a regional school district. Delran passed the referendum, but the other two districts turned it down. Since Riverside High School, Delran's receiving district, was overcrowded, the only choice left was a new high school for Delran alone."
