September 9, 2021, was a historic day in Montgomery County.
It was the first time the Montgomery County Board of Education ever voted to build a new cell tower on public school land. The vote was unanimous.
Cell towers had been constructed in the past on public school land, but never with a vote of the Board of Education. Those cell towers were put up without public notification or Board of Education votes. But once MCPS parents and neighbors discovered cell towers were taking over Montgomery County public school land they made their opposition known to the Board of Education. As a result of the public outcry, subsequent cell tower projects were rejected by the Board of Education.
No new cell tower has been constructed on public school land in Montgomery County since 2006.
Until now.
On September 9, 2021, the Montgomery County Board of Education unanimously voted to approve a NEW CELL TOWER for the Woodwards High School site. The Action Item was on the Consent Agenda and the item was voted on without so much as a peep from any of the Board of Education members. In fact, if you just watch the video of that vote you wouldn't even know what happened.
Parents and guardians all across Montgomery County have voiced their opposition to the construction of cell towers on public school playgrounds for over 16 years.
Brenda Wolff and Karla Silvestre voted to construct a new cell tower without following the MCPS process for new cell tower approvals and without so much as a word of discussion in a public meeting.
Now they want your vote in the 2022 election so they can stay in their Board of Education seats for another 4 years. You can use your vote to let them know how you feel about their failure to follow the stated MCPS process.
