Garden supporters ask building of new Enota school be delayed
Enota
Some community members are asking for a delay in the planned replacement of the school building for Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy until there has been more time to discuss preservation of the school's Smartville Garden.
More than 40 people supporting a delay in plans for a new Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy school building attended the Gainesville City Board of Education meeting Monday — and most were decked out in bright, yellow T-shirts with “Enota supporter” on them. The Smartville Garden was developed at Enota in 2008 and has been the subject of controversy since the board agreed to build a new building at the site. The initial plans called for destroying the garden where it is and replanting it in different locations.
