The Governing Board of Henderson County Public Schools has authorized the sale by sealed bids for the tiny house described below:

Henderson County Public Schools owns a tiny house with trailer that was built as a collaborative project between interior design, drafting, and construction students from West Henderson High School. The project was completed in September 2018.

1. Henderson County Public Schools will accept sealed bids for the property from the date of this advertisement until 9:00 a.m., Monday, October 1, 2018. Sealed Bids shall be delivered to the

3. Minimum bid of $50,000 must be received.

4. The Governing Board will determine the highest responsible bidder for the property and will award the bid at its regular meeting on October 9, 2018.
