<p>The position of 给 in the first sentence you have is correct, you would just add 了 to indicate the completion of the act to make it flow better</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>那所学校被卖给那个大公司了</p>

Sold to = 被卖给, so the 1st one. To complete, add a 了 to indicate the completion, like 被卖给了. The 2nd one seems a little bit problematic, since there are two words to indicate passive actions, which is not usually accepted when used in the same sentence.
