Thankful that Mr. Ross of the NAACP spoke out against cell towers on school property, to the P.G. B.O.E last night. This is definitely an Environmental Justice issue, and according to the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, June 2010 Report; “Now is the Time;” Recommendation # 54: “Guidance should also be developed for the siting of cell towers, new industries, roads, transportation routes, and other potential sources of pollution near existing schools. EPA should actively engage states in strengthening their capacity to provide support to school districts in the environmental site evaluation of proposed schools sites.” Recommendation # 55: The Department of Education should endorse the EPA Model School Siting Guide-lines and require all recipients of federal assistance to comply with it.
