On Wednesday, Nov. 10 the old Montezuma bus barn’s belongings were sold.
The school board saw the old bus barn as an extra on the school property and felt it still had value so they decided to have an auction.
Since the family and consumer science program is no longer functioning, board members decided to combine the two areas and sell the appliances from each.
They sold various items including furniture, computers, desks, dishwashers and other kitchen equipment.
Mr. Versteeg said, “There were no high expectations; [all items] sold at fair prices.”
M&M auction performed the auctioneering and about 50 people attended. Proceeds from the sale were $8,916 and will be used to pay expenses such as the auctioneer, cleaning up the site and other various tasks.
The school board is hoping to breakeven with this project.
