CV School District Auctioning Out-of-Use Items from Schools

The School Surplus Auction includes industrial kitchen appliances, woodworking tools, electronics and plenty of school desks.

For anyone’s who’s wanted to own a piece of Chartiers Valley schools, or anyone who’s looking for some unique auction finds, now’s the chance.

Chartiers Valley School District employees have been cleaning out “The Tunnels”—the basement area underneath the middle/high school complex—and they’ve made some pretty unique finds that the district plans to auction off in July.

A preview event, allowing potential bidders to view the items, is July 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The high school is at 50 Thoms Run Road, Bridgeville, PA 15017.

“We’ve been doing summer cleaning in The Tunnels, which extend through basically the entire building,” said district public relations director Kara Droney. “Mostly this area is used for storage.”

Hundreds of items are up for grabs, including desks and chairs, chemistry tables, filing cabinets and display cases, computer monitors and televisions.

Local businesses might be interested in the collection of industrial baking and kitchen equipment, including a Coca-Cola drink cooler. Lawnmowers, hand-held woodworking tools and other “shop” equipment are also part of the auction.

All proceeds from the auction will go back to the Chartiers Valley School District, although the exact use has not yet been specified.
