There were no bids received on the purchase of the former Orofino Junior High School (OJHS) building. It was appraised at $500,000. A second parcel up for bids, appraised at $115,000, went to the highest bidder for $176,800, reports School District Supt. Dale Durkee following Monday’s board meeting at Timberline.
Paul and Lee Pippenger won the bid on the 2.49 acres on the old forest building site on Hwy 11. Riverview Construction was the only other bidder with a bid of $117,282.
Durkee said because there were no satisfactory bids made or received on the abandoned OJHS building, Idaho Code states that the school board may proceed under its own direction to sell and convey the property for the highest price the market will bear. The sale is under the direction of Clearwater Realty.

*Adoption of the 2011-12 school calendar.
