Student Primer on Cell Tower Maintenance

As long as students are going to be spending time on the playground with cell towers, they might as well learn the basics of cell tower maintenance.
Here's a handy check list from one cell tower vendor on what to check on your local school's cell tower.

Copy this for your kids and send it with them to school.

Parents, don't miss the last page that lists all of the "opportunities" for the cell tower vendor to outsource tasks connected with maintaining a cell tower.  "Outsourcing" means all the different subcontractors that can be coming on the school playgrounds to service cell towers.  Do you really imagine that all of those subcontractors have had background checks? 

Cell tower compounds have already been installed on playgrounds/fields at the following Montgomery County Public Schools: 

Northwood HS - Silver Spring
Blake HS - Silver Spring
Einstein HS - Silver Spring 
Kennedy HS - Silver Spring
Wheaton HS - Silver Spring 
Springbrook HS - Silver Spring
Blair HS - Silver Spring
Watkins Mill HS - Gaithersburg
Daly Elementary School - Germantown*
Magruder HS - Rockville
Tilden Middle School - Rockville
Sherwood HS - Sandy Spring

Woodwards Road ES site - Gaithersburg

*The Daly ES PTA and community said no to this cell tower and Superintendent Jerry Weast signed the lease and placed the tower on the playground anyway.
