Claymont board explores sale of Intermediate building; auction timeline at least 60 days
Summary
Superintendent Brian Rentsch introduced real-estate and auction representatives and told the board the Claymont Intermediate building must be offered to community or chartered non-public schools first; he said an auction timeline would be at least 60 days and expressed a goal to sell before winter to reduce holding costs.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board on May 11 that the district is exploring selling the Claymont Intermediate building and has invited The Barnett Realtors and Cronebaugh Auction to represent the district.
"The building has to be offered to any community school or chartered non-public school in the community first, which there is none in our district," Rentsch said, and he noted that an auction timeline would be at least 60 days. Rentsch said he would like to complete a sale before winter to limit carrying costs. The district must follow state procedures before marketing the property for auction.
The board did not take immediate action to list or sell the property at the meeting; Rentsch's remarks and the named representatives signal a next step of formal disposition planning and any legally required offers to qualifying schools.
