"Online Auction to Sell Items from Muskegon Heights Public Schools." FOX17 (MI), June 19, 2012 , http://www.fox17online.com/news/lakeshore/fox17-online-auction-to-sell-items-from-muskegon-heights-public-schools-20120619,0,3443191.story
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich.—The Muskegon Heights School District is selling all items not needed for the next school year at an online auction starting Tuesday, in an effort to try to get out of debt.
You can access the items at www.biddergy.com . So far, trucks, buses, and trailers are available to bid on, starting at $100.00. More items should be coming soon. The auction will run as long as the school system has items available.
The Muskegon Heights School District is transitioning from a public school, to a charter school. That's part of the plan to get the district out of a 12.4 million dollar debt.
Muskegon Heights is the first school district in the United States to move Kindergarten through 12th grade from public to charter.
