In October, the Riverside board hired Jane Butler as superintendent of schools without any suggestions from the Delanco board and without any advance notice. Butler, who will become superintendent effective July 1, will oversee the school system, which includes Riverside High School. Delanco sends 100 students to Riverside High."
