If you are a parent with a child in a DeKalb public school, we urge you to watch the video in our previous blog post concerning the dangers of enabling wi-fi to be used by or near your child.

If you would like to express your concern and request that your child's school provide a safe and healthy alternative to this form of instruction, please download and use the NON-CONSENT FORM made available today by Get the Cell Out - Atlanta.

It will also be added to our growing library of documents available in the "Documents and Downloads" section of our website, on the left column of this page. 

The document contains a letter for parents to keep for your records that describes the general issues related to wi-fi in the classroom.  The second page is the form to sign and send to school.  A copy is shown below.  The third page can be used to give to your child's teacher, principal or other administrator to explain the reasons why you have elected to submit a wi-fi NON-CONSENT form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at sayno2celltowers@yahoo.com.  And, consider the impact of wi-fi in the classroom when you go to your polling place today and vote on the SPLOST IV referendum.
