Database: Cell Towers Approved for MCPS School Sites

The Parents' Coalition has made the list of all MCPS school sites that have been approved by Montgomery County for the installation of cell phone telecommunication towers available in one easy to use database shown below.

This information was obtained from the Montgomery County Transmission Facilities Coordinating Group

The database shows where installations have been approved, but does not show if the approved tower was actually installed.

The database includes all MCPS property that is governed by the County government but does not include MCPS property governed by city governments.

  1. This is pretty confusing. Do you know what it means if an antenna was approved, but never installed?

  2. Thank you for this comprehensive database! Does anyone know which tower is the closest distance to a permanent MCPS school building? Is there a law/policy that requires these towers to be a minimum distance from school buildings?

  3. Also how many cell towers aren't actually on MCPS school sites but next to them, like the tower that's next to Roscoe Nix ES?
