Nice article. 
I am so opposed to cell towers being on school property.  Thanks for your fight against the decision previously made by the school board.

Hi Ella, I spoke again at the school board meeting this month, but didn't prepare well enough to get all my points across.  I'm going to try again next month and already signed up to speak.  I am not asking them to go back and redo the contracts and commitments that already took place, but we just want an acknowledgement that they have heard the many complaints of the residents who are against this practice and that they will right the wrong by at least writing a resolution against the use of cell towers for school funding.  

If they won't do that, then at the very least they could provide a clear process by which they will handle any future such requests and how they will involve the public in that process. The way things have run so far, the public and the parents have been given the cold shoulder and have to live with the constant threat that any day now construction could start and it will be up to them to stop it legally at the drop of a hat.  It appears the goal is to just get the ones who know about it to move away and then they will go ahead with their plans.  I find that to be very objectionable if not outright illegal.  Thanks for your support on this issue!!
