District explores sale of Claymont Intermediate building; realty and auction reps introduced
Summary
Superintendent introduced The Barnett Realtors and Cronebaugh Auction to represent the district in selling the Claymont Intermediate building, saying the building must first be offered to any community or chartered non‑public school and an auction timeline would be at least 60 days.
Superintendent Brian Rentsch told the board May 11 that the district plans to offer the Claymont Intermediate building for sale and has met with prospective agents.
Rentsch introduced Amy Myers of The Barnett Realtors and Bob Hall of Cronebaugh Auction, who said they would be willing to represent the board in the sale. Rentsch said 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,” and noted a preference to complete the sale before winter to reduce carrying costs; he added that an auction timeline would be at least 60 days.
Why it matters: selling the Intermediate building could reduce maintenance and utility costs for the district, but state rules and local requirements for offering district property to schools or chartered non‑public schools first affect timing and method. The board did not take a final sell/authorize vote at the meeting but moved forward with introducing vendor options.
