But this week the separate school board received word from its administration that it could do without the school if it was needed by the public board. Separate school trustee Pierre Mercier said Thursday he expects the boards to meet in about a week to discuss possible sale. Jlr. Mercier said his board will likely ask $2.5 million for the six-year-old building. That's what it cost to build the school.

"We don't expect to make money but we don't expect to lose any, either," he said. "When you sell to another board you don't sell for a profit," he added.

The school provides occupational training for students 14 and older who, for various reasons, cannot cope with the normal secondary school curriculum, Mr. Mercier said. With 646 students, the school is operating at capacity.

A transfer of jurisdiction would be beneficial to the students, said Mr. Mercier. "The grants that we get for that school are about half of what the public board would get for it, so the public board will be able to do a lot more for them," he explained. Nonetheless, the board must have certain assurances before it will sell. All Centre Polyvalent Vanier teachers must be guaranteed continued employment.
