Loudoun County Public Schools has sent out a notice regarding the proposed cellular tower at River Bend Middle School and Dominion High School. We have copied this message below. We will post updates on this situation here. You can also find current information on the LCPS website here.

From LCPS:

“The placement of cell towers/monopoles on LCPS property is guided by School Board Policy and Regulation 6350, Wireless Network Facility Colocation. The School Board will review the active proposals over the coming months. 

Today (May 21), the School Board Finance & Operations Committee begins the Board’s review of Milestone Towers’ cellular tower proposals for River Bend Middle School and Dominion High School.  Sign-up for public comment at today’s Committee meeting will be in person and required prior to the 4:30 p.m. start of the meeting; today, due to the length of the agenda, public comment will be limited to 10 minutes.

The School Board’s review process will involve several public meetings over the coming months, including a dedicated public hearing on the proposals to place cellular towers at River Bend Middle School and Dominion High School.   

On today’s meeting agenda, the Finance & Operations Committee will also review revisions to Policy 6350, Wireless Network Facility Colocation.  Should the Committee members agree to the revised wording, Policy 6350 will be posted for comment on the Policy Review webpage on or about Wednesday, May 22, for a two-week period.  As part of all policy review, public comment is solicited before action by the full School Board.

Additional information, including information on future meeting dates where the cell tower proposals will be reviewed, can be found on the LCPS webpage (Future School Facilities/Sites) – via the ‘River Bend Middle School Cellular Tower Proposal’ and ‘Dominion High School Cellular Tower Proposal’ links.”
