Patch: Parents Await Appeal to State in Protest of School Cell Phone Towers

Some Montgomery County parents are awaiting a response from the Maryland Board of Education on their appeal that protests cell phone towers in school yards... 

...Lesli Maxwell, Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman, said about the Parents Coalition’s appeal to block the towers at schoolyards, “We believe it is without merit.”
Nevertheless, the Parents Coalition has supporters on the Montgomery County Board of Education.
Among them is board member Laura Berthiaume, who said she was concerned that cell phone towers could threaten the health of schoolchildren.
“My recent vote against a cell tower at an elementary school was based on the lack of any peer-reviewed scientific study proving that having a cell phone tower within a close proximity is safe for children under 12,” she said.
