WYANDOTTE, Mich. – The controversy surrounding a T-Mobile 5G tower on top of Washington Elementary School is far from over.
The tower was turned on after a lengthy legal battle and major push back from parents.
The school board is set to meet Tuesday, Oct. 10. It’s the first meeting since the tower was turned on. Some parents are vowing to move and others are buying radiation reading equipment.

For months, parents have been fighting to block the tower, which went operational just days ago. Parents said they know we’re surrounded by radio waves from towers and WiFi, but they’re concerned about potential health problems for their children exposed to the tower all day, every day.
Some parents have bought EMF readers that test radiation levels to track the radiation at the school.
Josh Castmore is a Wyandotte parent and a lawyer who took T-Mobile to court trying to get the tower removed or not to become operational. A judge ruled in favor of T-Mobile. He said he’s considering moving.
Castmore said he does not expect any movement on the controversy to happen at Tuesday’s school board meeting.
