The fact is that the New Hanover County School Board did NOT tell any of the parents ANYTHING about this before proceeding with it. NO parents knew of this until a homeowner approached the PTA of the school 5 days prior to this "meeting" because they had received a letter from the planning committee regarding it. Even the homeowners had no knowledge of it until recently...and this has been in the works for 2 years? Do they really have to place the tower on school grounds? The question here is WHY were the Murrayville residents not told of this? Why was it so secretive? This was a very shady deal, and it disgusts me that the school board has done this without communicating with the parents of the children that they are to be representing and having the best interest in mind for. Whomever commented about everyone using cell phones has a valid point...in a way. Sure, we all use cell phones, and I'm sure there is a demand for towers to provide better coverage.... BUT there are so many other places that seem better fit to place a cell phone tower in this county.
