**Breaking: 5/11/23 Board of Education to Unanimously Support Using Dedicated School Land in Gaithersburg for Cell Towers Instead of School***

At the May 11, 2023, Montgomery County Board of Education meeting the Board of Education will unanimously vote to give away more school land to a private, for-profit corporation.

Why not? Schools aren't needed, correct?  Public school land should be just given away for free to private for-profit corporations, correct?  Meanwhile Montgomery County residents should have to pay more in taxes to support the public schools.  

Here's the Board of Education resolution that is on the Board's Consent (no discussion) Agenda for Thursday, May 11, 2023. 

The Board of Education will be giving away 36 square feet of dedicated, public school land for free. 

This will add to the already large cell tower compound at this school site. Click here for the Google Earth view of the cell tower compound that the Board of Education wants instead of a school. 

The cell tower compound at this school site is so large at this site that the land can no longer be used for a public school. 

The Resolution says: 

On November 5, 2021, DISH Wireless LLC received site development approval from the City of Gaithersburg to place antenna and ground equipment at the existing telecommunications site at the Woodwards Road future school site...

But no such approval exists in the City of Gaithersburg permitting records.  Why not just make up approval?  Who cares?
