The South East Education and Library Board (SEELB) is due to meet today to confirm the closure of four schools in Northern Ireland.
It is understood that approximately 15 other schools could also be closed or amalgamated.
The SEELB have already cast their votes to shut specific schools due to a decline in pupil numbers.
The four schools facing closure include Conlig, Groomsport and Hilden primaries and Lisnasharragh High School.
