Parents raise concern over GUSD's Wi-Fi
But officials say wireless technology emits radio frequency levels too low to cause harm.
La Crescenta resident Winston Story has collected more than 40 signatures from fellow parents for a petition against Glendale Unified’s use of Wi-Fi in classrooms over concerns that radio waves emitted by wireless Internet routers could pose health risks to children. Story is the father of a child who attends Mountain Avenue Elementary School, which also serves families living in the westernmost section of La Cañada Flintridge.
Story presented his concerns during a school board meeting last week on the same night Glendale school officials announced plans to boost bandwidth at all the district’s schools by the end of November to improve wireless Internet network usage.
The wireless Internet upgrades and the district’s overall Internet network improvements have been a main priority for Glendale school officials since voters approved the Measure S bond in 2011.
