The two SMUSD cell towers were built without any building permits, inspections or tests.
Cell tower fires cannot be fought with water or foam and are left to burn out on its own. Century windstorms have exceeded the wind ratings of the cell towers and the seismic rating of the cell towers are unknown. In 2000 Los Angeles Unified School District banned cell towers on and near school campuses.

Contracts between SMUSD and wireless providers.  
  • Contract made on Nov.23, 2004 with Verizon Wireless 
  • Contract made on Jan. 23, 2006 with Nextel of California, Inc. 
  • Contract made on Dec.7, 2006 with Royal Street Communications, LLC.
The agreements are available for download at: 
Valentine Elementary School agreement - https://www.dropbox.com/s/slv579mvmwd5xd7/SM%20Valentine%20cell%20tower%20lease%20agreement.pdf

High School agreement - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ul87r2t898t8ggv/celltowerleaseagreement-SMHighSchool.pdf

At this point, it is obvious that the contracts are so one sided; the wireless companies can terminate the contract any year with a little advance notice but there is no provision as how we can get out of them.

The terms are four 5 years auto renewal and after that they could do two more 5 years renewal if we don't write written request to terminate.
