School Children Protest Cell Tower on Briarlake Elementary School Yard

Reprinted from
By Brigitte

Holding signs that spell out, "Save our school yard. No cell tower at Briarlake," elementary school students and their parents are horrified to learn upon returning to school this fall that over the summer Dekalb County School Systems agreed to allow T-Mobile to build 150' tall cell towers on 9 area school yards.

While BOE representatives tell the communities affected that it's a "done deal," several groups are demonstrating against losing limited and valuable school property to DCSS business interests without adequate notice. Opposition group, Get the Cell Out - ATL, is working to publicize the issue affecting the nine elementary and high schools in Decatur, Atlanta, Lithonia, and Stone Mountain at getthecelloutatl.blogspot.com.
