Wireless "Placeholder" - GTCO-ATL's Letter to the Board


To the Board of Education and Superintendent Atkinson,

Get the Cell Out - Atlanta is a large and still growing group of concerned residents, taxpayers, parents and voters who have brought to your attention the serious concerns we have with your efforts to place cell phone towers on our public school grounds.  Now, it has come to our attention that the Superintendent has placed an item as a "Placeholder" on tonight's agenda entitled "Wireless" initiative.

We brought to your attention in November 2011 that the wireless plans you have for the schools will have serious implications for our students since the same form of radiation emitted from cell phone towers is also used in wireless routers.  Please see our latest video on this subject:  http://www.getthecelloutatl.com/2013/01/gtco-atl-youtube-video-ground-zero.html

We also request urgently that you educate yourselves on this subject matter and look into the trends across school districts in the U.S. and throughout the world where they have had to spend considerable amounts of money to take the wireless technology OUT of their schools after reports of health problems among the students.  Children are known to be the most vulnerable to a variety of side effects from constant exposure to this radiation because it affects DNA, which is still rapidly developing and changing in the systems of our young children.

Please review the research specific to schools that is attached to this email.  And,  please remove the wireless initiative until you can determine a better way to improve technology without it having to be wireless in nature.  At the very least, we suggest that you reconsider adopting wireless delivery in the elementary schools as it affects our most vulnerable children.

Thank  you,

Cheryl and Paul Miller
Get the Cell Out - ATL
