Superintendent seeks sale of Claymont Intermediate building; auction timeline discussed
Summary
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board the district plans to offer the Claymont Intermediate building for sale, must first offer it to any community or chartered non‑public school per statute (none exist), and engaged The Barnett Realtors and Cronebaugh Auction with an auction timeline of at least 60 days and intent to complete the sale before winter to reduce costs.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the Claymont City Board of Education on May 11 that the district intends to sell the Claymont Intermediate School building and has begun vetting potential agents to manage the sale.
Rentsch introduced Amy Myers of The Barnett Realtors and Bob Hall of Cronebaugh Auction as interested representatives. He said state rules require the district offer the building first to any community or chartered non‑public school in the community — none were identified — and indicated the district would prefer to complete a sale before winter to avoid continued maintenance costs. He estimated an auction timeline would be at least 60 days.
Board members discussed the proposal during administrative reports; no formal sale motion or approval was recorded that night, but the board accepted the presentations and asked staff to pursue the process per statutory steps.
