No Documents Exist to Support Cell Tower Construction Curriculum

The Maryland Critical Area Commission has received a request to approve the construction of a cell tower on the Magothy River Middle School playground.  Magothy River Middle School is in Anne Arundel County and sits within the land that is part of the Critical Area of the Chesapeake Bay.
The Critical Area application is shown below.

The application references a cell tower construction curriculum that has been developed with the Anne Arundel Board of Education as a special circumstance that justifies the construction of this cell tower in a Critical Area of the Chesapeake Bay.  

In an attempt to verify that such a curriculum existed, we filed a Maryland Public Information Act request with the Anne Arundel County Public Schools.  The response was that AACPS "has no such curricular documents."
