Under the Education Act, when schools are declared as property surplus and the decision is made to sell them, they must be offered to specific government-funded agencies before offering the property to sale to the public.

The schools will be offered to preferred agencies for a period of 90 days, ending in mid-September. If no offers are received, then NNDSB will submit a request for Ministry approval to offer the properties for sale to the public via a request for proposal.
