MCPS Parent Questions Notification to Parents/Staff at Wheaton HS and New Propane Tank at Watkins Mill HS #celltower

The Montgomery County Tower Committee will vote to approve the give away of more public school land at Wheaton High School and Watkins Mill High School today at 2 PM. The land is being turned over to private, for profit companies who often don't pay their Maryland Property Taxes on these commercial uses.

Subject: 2 Agenda Items to Please Table!

Hello, Marjorie and Tower Committee.

As an MCPS parent, I am concerned about the lack of disclosure to the community about two items on today's agenda.

#25 (Wheaton HS)

1. This tower is painful close to the school. How can a tower NOT be moved when the school is rebuilt? Aren't there setbacks required by law/zoning code?

2. Please share with me proof that the school attendees (including the teachers) and the surrounding community members have been made aware of this addition and that proper MCPS Real Estate protocol has been followed.

#26 (Watkins Mill HS)

1. The co-location planned includes a propane tank. Please share with me the materials sent to the community informing them of this addition of a volatile, hazardous substance in such close proximity to the school. As I understand it, the community is entitled to prior notice and this was just posted about 24 hours ago.

Sincerely,

Lisa Cline
