Newark School Land Heads to Auction

Newark City Schools is auctioning off a five-acre former elementary school site on Deo Drive, hoping to finally sell it for around a million dollars to fund critical school upgrades. Though state law required offering the land to charter or STEM schools first, none showed interest after the building was demolished, clearing the way for a public auction. This isn’t the first attempt — a previous bid fell short — but the district is determined to close the deal and reinvest the proceeds directly into their capital improvement fund to keep schools safe and modern for students.
