A public forum to discuss a proposed new school for Enota that has generated controversy for months is planned at the school Thursday night, and two opponents of announced plans said they hope it will be a “beginning” of discussion leading to a decision. At least one Gainesville Board of Education member has indicated he would like it to be the end of discussions about the school. Brett Mercer, vice chair of the board, said at the board’s retreat Aug. 13, when the forum was broached, that the board needs to make a decision about the school and move to other topics.
