Washington County School District surplus vehicle auction!

The auction opens at 8:00 am on Tuesday, July 28th.

The auction will run for 7 days closing at 5:00 pm on Monday, August 3rd.

Auction link: www.32auctions.com/2024RotationCars

You cannot enter a bid until the auction opens on Tuesday morning.

Please go to the auction site and look at the vehicles available. You can see more information on each vehicle by clicking on it. If you are interested in bidding, you will need to set up an account so you are ready to go. Instructions are on the auction site.

How does Extended Bidding work?

If an item receives a bid during the final 3 minutes of the auction, the item end time will be extended to allow for 3 additional minutes of bidding. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. This allows bidders to relax during the end of an auction knowing they'll have time to enter a new bid if they're outbid in the final 3 minutes, making it easier to maintain their lead on one or more items.

A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend with the goal of winning the item at the lowest possible price. The system will bid for you, up to your maximum proxy bid amount, as additional bids are entered on the item.

An exact bid is the amount you want the item's current selling price to immediately jump to. Your bid amount will not change as additional bids are entered on the item.

Some items are featuring a Buy It Now option, which means if you click the Buy It Now button, you have purchased that vehicle for the set price listed.



Vehicle will not be released to the buyer until payment is completed.

Payment must be made, in person, to Rachel Terry at the district office,

121 W. Tabernacle, St. George, M-F 7:30 am to 4:00 pm MDT.

Accepted payment methods:

Credit card (a 5% credit card fee will be charged for amounts over $5000)
Bank or cashier’s check
Cash

Good luck bidding!

Our Washington County School District counselors have been busy this summer! 💙 Thirty-five of our incredible school counselors recently attended the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Annual Conference in New Orleans, where they collaborated with professionals from across the country and explored new, evidence-based strategies to better support our students.

From academic success and student well-being to college and career readiness, the knowledge and resources they gained will have a lasting impact in our schools. Thank you to our counseling team for investing in their professional growth and their continued commitment to helping every WCSD student succeed. 🎉
