Englewood residents push for new elementary school
Englewood parents plan to attend the Sarasota County school board meeting on Oct 4 to protest cuts in the proposed elementary school. They cite a bid of 1,740,000 by W G Mills but a budget of 1,611,000 and consider omitting a cafeteria and a pool, leaving capacity for about 900 students. The Lemon Bay Hospital faces a separate setback as the state withdraws the certificate of need for a 100 bed facility on Morningside Drive, with an appeal possible despite the ruling by Arthur Forehand and Jim Mahorner.
