Breaking: Board of Ed. Ditches Plan to Replace 1/2 Home Team Bleachers with a Cell Tower Compound at new Woodward High School. @mocoboe @mcps

The Parents' Coalition has learned that the Board of Education has dropped their plan to replace half of the home team bleachers at the new Woodward High School stadium with a cell tower compound. 

Below are two images showing approximately what the Board of Education had planned.  The images below use the Walter Johnson High School stadium as an example of what a typical MCPS athletic stadium looks like.   

The Woodward High School cell tower compound would have replaced the home team bleachers on one side of the field.  Spectators for the home team would have been restricted to the other side of the field.  But as of today, the Board of Education has apparently declined to pursue this construction project.
