   Mountainville Academy, which is scheduled to open this fall near 365 E. 100 South in Alpine, plans to educate kindergartners through eighth-graders. The charter school's academic emphasis will be math and language arts.
    ALPINE - If Alpine planners get their way, backers of a proposed charter school will need a new plan.
   By unanimous vote this week, the Alpine Planning Commission rejected allowing construction of Mountainville Academy on about seven acres near 365 E. 100 South.
   Now the contentious issue will go before the City Council, which is scheduled to decide Tuesday whether to go along with the Planning Commission's recommendation.
   Some neighbors now are optimistic they can stop the 675-student school from coming to their area.
