The Renton School District will hold two public hearings on plans to sell two pieces of undeveloped, district-owned land near Hazelwood and Tiffany Park elementary schools.

The public hearings are being held because of a procedural error, wrote Randy Matheson, district spokesperson in an email. There were previous hearings on the sale of the property, but for one of the hearing the district did not place a notice in the local paper as per procedure in the prescribed timeline.

The separate hearings are the two separate parcels of land will be back to back starting at 7 p.m. on Oct. 29.

“These supplemental hearings will ensure compliance with state law as the district proceeds with the sale of these properties,” wrote Matheson.
