WPS adds three properties to 'For Sale' list

The Washington Parish School System has added three items to the list of items for sale, joining the old Franklinton High School football and baseball facilities.

New to the list are the former Varnado Elementary School and the old Pine High School, as well as a property in Franklinton.

While the Pine facility has been vacant since the July 2006 move to a new campus, Varnado was only shuttered this spring when the school was combined with Wesley Ray Elementary, located west of Angie.

The school system is currently advertising statewide for bids on the properties, The Varnado property is described as a six-acre tract on Jones Creek Road, while the Pine property is 3.6 acres on Highway 62. The Franklinton property is described as blocks 255 and 261, including a closed portion of 14th Street.

Sealed bids on the properties will be opened at 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 7 at the school board office located at 800 Main St. in Franklinton.
