Buena Regional School District

In June 2009, the New Jersey Department of Education ruled that Newfield, a non-operating district seeking to cut costs for its tuition students, could end its relationship with the Buena Regional School District and as of the 2011–12 school year could start sending incoming high school students in grades 7–9 to Delsea Regional High School, under a transition in which students at Buena's high school would remain in the district until they graduated. == Schools ==

Schools in the district (with 2020–21 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are: ;Elementary schools • Collings Lakes Elementary School with 197 students in grades K-2 • Richard A.

Core members of the district's administration are: • David Cappuccio Jr., superintendent • Pasquale Yacovelli, business administrator and board secretary ==Board of education==

The district's board of education is comprised of nine members who set policy and oversee the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district. Seats on the board of education are allocated based on population, with six assigned to Buena Vista Township and three to Buena Borough. ==References==
