The Guilford County Board of Education has approved plans to sell the old Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic school. The sale would come about two years after the board bought the property.
Board members voted unanimously Thursday to declare the property a surplus.
The News and Record of Greensboro reports High Point University will buy the school for $1.86 million. That's about $110,000 more than the board paid for the property in 2014.
The original plan was to relocate the Academy at Central high school to the Immaculate Heart location, but there wasn't enough space for a proposed cafeteria and media center. The board couldn't find the funding for renovations, which would cost close to $9 million.
The sale is contingent on the board first offering the property at fair market value to the county commissioners.
