Tuesday's marked the first November election in district history. School elections traditionally have been held in April in New Jersey.

Black Horse Pike Regional School District was thrust into the national media spotlight in early October when Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced that three teachers and two administrators had been charged following his office's investigation into teacher-student sex at Triton Regional High School during the 2011-12 school year.

Triton is one of three schools in Black Horse Pike Regional School District. Highland and Timber Creek are the others.
