GENEVA – Geneva School District 304 earned about $7,300 from an auction of surplus property, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Todd Lathem said Aug. 14.

“We had a lot of desks, tables, chairs, filing cabinets,” Lathem said.

The district included filing cabinets because most records are now digital and don’t require physical space, Lathem said.

Everything sold at auction except one of two pianos, he said.

Lathem thanked Facilities Director Scott Ney and his crew for their work that day.

The district is expecting a final report from the auction company, Lathem said.

Board President Larry Cabeen said he expected the auction proceeds will be added to the district’s general fund.
