McKnight Scraps Cell Tower Process, Cuts out Board of Ed., Parents, PTSA, Principal and Neighbors at Woodward HS Site. Puts New Cell Tower on 3rd Base Line of New Baseball Field.

MCPS Interim Superintendent Monifa McKnight has instituted a new Process for the placement of a New Cell Tower on Board of Education land. McKnight has cut out the Board of Education, parents, PTSA, neighbors, and principals from the approval process.

On Wednesday, November 3, 2021, McKnight will have MCPS staff tell the Montgomery County Tower Committee that all of the MCPS New Cell Tower placement processes have been followed.  Never mind that steps 2-16 of the New Cell Tower Process have been skipped.  

Here's what McKnight's New Cell Tower Process Map looks like:

MCPS Interim Superintendent Monifa McKnight has eliminated steps 2-16, instead having a cell tower vendor go right to her for approval of a New Cell Tower on a Board of Education school site.  

McKnight's "new process" is being put in to action with the placement of a new cell tower on the site of the new high school at the Woodward site on Old Georgetown Road in Rockville. The school doesn't exist, has no parents, no principal, no teachers, no PTSA, and so McKnight has eliminated all of those parties from the decision whether or not to locate a New Cell Tower on the 3rd base line of the baseball field.  

The red circle shows the location that Monifa McKnight

has chosen for the construction of a new, 120 foot tall cell tower.
