On May 26, 2009, the LAUSD Board of Education unanimously passed a second resolution including a statement “in favor of revising Section 704 of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996’s preemption of consideration of the health and environmental effects of radio-frequency radiation at levels below current Federal Communication Commission standards in decisions involving the placement, construction and modification of wireless facilities.”

LAUSD’s action on this issue was prompted in part by a number of recent cellular antenna applications for locations near LAUSD schools.
