School furnishings will be sold soon

Following the move from the old elementary and middle school buildings in Grand Coulee to the new school complex in Coulee Dam, hundreds of items left in the two buildings will be tagged for sale.

The new school has all new furnishings, so the desks, chairs and more from the old schools need to find a new home.

Those items from the old Center Elementary School were declared surplus Monday night by the Grand Coulee Dam School District board.

Items will be offered first to other school districts and government agencies, and after 30 days will be available for purchase by the public.

Superintendent Dennis Carlson stated that the items will be available to the public sometime in December.

“We will probably have an open house at the school where people can come in and bid on items, just like we did at the high school,” Carlson noted.

He added that items that will later be “surplused” at the former middle school will be offered up the same way.

Need some small chairs? There are plenty at the Center School. Or bookcases, computer desks, round tables?

Look for a December announcement that items are on sale to the general public.
