Negotiations for a new site for St. Teresa's Special School in Ballinasloe are at an 'advanced' stage.
That's according to the Department of Education.
Negotiations with the landowner began late last year - after plans to purchase a different site fell through.
At present, St. Teresa's operates from temporary accommodation, which staff say is inadequate to meet the growing demand for the school.
The school - which is based at the Ballinasloe Enterprise Centre - was founded in 2008 and caters to pupils between 8 and 14 years of age.
