Board considers sale of Claymont Intermediate building; auction timeline discussed
Summary
Superintendent Brian Rentsch introduced real-estate representatives and told the board the Claymont Intermediate building must first be offered to community or chartered nonpublic schools; an auction timeline would be at least 60 days and the district prefers a sale before winter to reduce costs.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board May 11 that The Barnett Realtors and Cronebaugh Auction have expressed interest representing the district in the sale of the Claymont Intermediate building.
Rentsch said state rules require the building be offered first to any community school or chartered nonpublic school in the community (none currently exist in the district). He said the district would like to complete a sale before winter to reduce holding costs and that an auction timeline would be “at least 60 days.” The board did not take a final vote on a sale at this meeting; Rentsch framed the discussion as introductory and procedural next steps.
Board members and administrators also discussed site maintenance and potential re-use options in brief administrative remarks; no formal direction beyond exploring the sale and vendor engagement was recorded in the minutes.
