A built in cell phone blocker is why.Kids have become such a pain in the butt with their cell phones that measures had to be taken.Land lines will suffice for emergency calls.

Simple...schools need the money from the rent of the space for the towers.

I worked several years engineering cell phone sites for many providers.

We always tried to direct the revenue streams to the school authorities when we could. In certain locations this simply could not be done - because it was geographically impossible. Another reason we did this is that it helped to speed up the zoning approvals - as the school officials usually go to bat and are in favor of the revenue streams.

Maybe that helps to answer your questions.

There is less resistance when unsightly construction is tagged to our children's schools.

At Woodson school in Crisfield, Phil Johnson of GE, is applying to install two 300' turbines. These turbines will place our students at risk, but he thinks the money in his pocket is worth it.
