Cooney, Joe. "Vote could end Delsea district; Franklin board seeks K-12 system", Asbury Park Press, July 13, 2012. Accessed December 24, 2014. "Franklin — The township’s school board is seeking approval for a referendum that could lead to dissolution of the Delsea Regional School District. Franklin and Elk currently make up the regional district for students in grades 7 to 12. If a vote takes place, residents in those communities would decide on whether to create a new district for both municipalities’ students in prekindergarten through 12th grade.... Newfield, which previously sent its kids to Buena Regional schools, now sends its students to Franklin and Delsea."
