Education chiefs are holding an emergency meeting to discuss what should happen to Crumlin Integrated College in Co Antrim.
The North Eastern Education and Library Board (NEELB) says the meeting will consider the possibility of opening a new, joint-faith school.
Its management will be shared between the NEELB and Catholic Church authorities.
The NEELB had been expected to announce the school’s closure last year but postponed its decision for six months.
The issue will be tabled again this week and a further postponement is unlikely.
Crumlin was placed into special measures in 2010 after inspectors highlighted major deficiencies in leadership, poor teaching standards and exam results.
