Board weighs sale of Claymont Intermediate building, seeks auction timeline of at least 60 days
Summary
Superintendent Brian Rentsch introduced real‑estate and auction representatives to discuss selling the Claymont Intermediate building; the board was told the property must first be offered to any community or chartered non‑public school and an auction timeline would be at least 60 days with an aim to sell before winter to reduce costs.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board he has been in contact with The Barnett Realtors and Cronebaugh Auction to represent the district in a potential sale of the Claymont Intermediate building and other surplus items. He said state rules require offering the building first to any community or chartered non‑public school in the community; the district has none, so the sale could proceed to auction or listing.
Rentsch said the district would like to complete a sale before winter to save on maintenance and heating costs; an auction timeline was described as at least 60 days. The board did not take a formal vote on the sale at this meeting; the discussion was presented as an update and next steps for staff to pursue vendor engagement and timeline planning.
The matter was introduced as part of administrative reports and will require staff follow‑up to satisfy statutory offering requirements and to finalize a listing or auction schedule.
