We the undersigned students, parents of students, staff at JEB Stuart High School and/or residents of Mason District in Falls Church, Virginia, do hereby support the cell phone tower proposed to be located on the northeast side of the football field at JEB Stuart HS, and

We feel such a tower will improve cell phone coverage in an area which is in need of it including, but by no means limited to the enhanced ability of parents and students to communicate with one another while on the school campus, something that is often impossible with the present weak signal strength, and

We feel the money the tower will bring into the school and to the JEB Stuart Athletic Boosters including, but not limited to the synthetic turfing of the sports fields at JEB Stuart HS, is of great value, and

That numerous studies have shown no health problems connected to such cell towers, and

That numerous studies that have shown no loss in property value when such towers have been installed elsewhere in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and

That numerous other Fairfax County public schools are hosting cell phone towers on their property, benefitting from rental income those towers provide and have seen no ill effects from such towers, and

We are aware that the existing tall light poles, trees and apartment buildings will allow the tower to blend in to the greatest extent possible within the surrounding area, and

That the Fairfax Country School System has studied this issue in depth and concluded that that there are no problems associated with these types of towers;

Therefore we support the installation of the proposed tower and recommend that the Fairfax County Planning Commission, School Board and Board of Supervisors do hereby take action to ensure the proposed installation.
