During the public comment portion of last night's DeKalb County School Board meeting, GTCO-ATL friends and associates were on hand to speak out against the cell towers that will soon be going up at 9 of our public schools.
Six speakers addressed the subject of cell towers at schools and the improper notification that was provided to the communities around the schools. Also raised was the issue of Wi-Fi in the classroom, which is an initiative DeKalb seeks to undertake as part of the SPLOST IV referendum.
To bring GTCO-ATL fans up to speed about the problems with Wi-Fi, we have found an excellent video, about 14 minutes long, that covers the issue and actually measures the radiation fields to show you first hand what we will be doing to our children if we do not STOP SPLOST at the polls.
In addition to the video, here are some links for more information. And, please select the last link in this list for a WIRELESS NON-CONSENT FORM to sent to school with your child!

Greater Atlanta / DeKalb Schools - Non-Consent Form for Concerned Parents: http://www.scribd.com/doc/72047357/GTCO-ATL-Non-Consent-Form-for-Wi-Fi-in-the-Classroom
Without transparency, ethics, and accountability, I am forced to vote “No” for SPLOST. There are those who use words of intimidation to move property owners to feel that they have no choice but to vote to approve almost every tax request. They say, “Let’s not forget the needs of the children.”
ReplyDeleteAs taxpayers and voters, we must hold the “powers to be” accountable for the manner in which our tax money is spent. The children and teachers have yet to receive their due with our SPLOST money. When will we hold our elected officials accountable for our SPLOST money? We need to make sure our children have the highest quality education and our teachers receive a decent pay.
DeKalb County School System close 8-11 school earlier in the year then tell the taxpayers and voters that they need more money to build 8 new schools. What happen to the 11,000 empty seats? Did we forget? DeKalb County School System have four people charged with a crime (RICO) dealing with SPLOST funds; yet, refuse to perform an external forensic audit to regain the public’s trust.
I would prefer to deal with SPLOST in 2012. Let’s get our house in order to protect our school assets to provide the best learning environment for our children to learn and our teachers to teach. We must stop the lack of transparency, ethics, and accountability within our school system.
