The school board dropped the plans for the tower at our school today. I am tired but relieved we held our ground against this project. Keep a close watch on this property even now that the proposal is gone.

Washington County Public Schools is in the process of closing a business deal with Milestone Communications to construct a Cell Phone Tower Base Station at North Hagerstown High School. This includes a 115-foot cell tower and an 83' x 35' fenced compound on school grounds in a residential area.
Are cell towers really dangerous for kids and adults? Has there been any credible research conducted to show actual concern for living, working or going to school near a cell tower? The answer is YES!
A 2-year, $25 Million study conducted by the National Toxicology Program JUST concluded on March 28th, 2018 and links cell phones radiation with Cancer.

Firefighters around the country have been lobbying successfully for years against the installment of towers on Fire Stations due to the known adverse health effects including headaches, memory problems, sleeping problems, depression, and anxiety.

The emails I receive from school officials have been dismissive and repetitive. It is exhausting to keep fighting for the basic safety of our students when they refuse to engage with the actual science. I am still here working through the paperwork even if the progress feels slow.

Please do not put our childrens' health in jeopardy for additional cell service. They trust us to keep them safe, why would we want them absorbing radiation from a cell tower all day, 5 days a week? Please put it somewhere else.
I am opposed...lots to lose and very little to gain...ps - I am a Sprint customer and service is great as is...
I SAY, NO TO TOWER AT NORTH HIGH SCHOOL THAT IS TOO CLOSE TO CHILDREN AND NEIGHBORS . Put it at Md Metals property.
As an EMF sensitive adult, I’ve researched extensively on this topic and the effects on children, given their absorption, is significantly higher than adults. Towers and children do not mix. This is NOT a good idea. Further, all schools should be wired to their network, not wireless.
I can't believe this is even a question. Protect the health of our children and residents! I will be ashamed to call myself North High Alumni if this cell tower is put on campus. class of 2005
Keep cell pho.ne towers off schools
The science proves all microwave radiation is toxic to life forms.

I am 100% against a cell tower being placed in this location. A cell phone tower is completely unnecessary on school grounds. I also think it’s sad that this is even being discussed. Is the health and safety of our children really worth that little to WCPS?
