cookieChoices = {};I am interested in making the
right choice in the upcoming election so I have sent the following to the School Board Trustees. I would like to hear their opinions on issues related to SCDSB Wireless policies.
I am an engineer with a science
based technical background. I have done
considerable research on electromagnetic radiation issues, specifically
microwaves used for Wi-Fi and cellular communication systems.
I have serious concerns with our
rapidly increasing exposure to electromagnetic radiation as I believe there are
negative short and long term biological effects caused by this exposure
especially for children.
I would like to hear the opinions of the School Board Trustees that are running in the current municipal election on the following issues:
·
Allow
teachers to turn the Wi-Fi router off in their classroom when access to the
internet is not required.
·
Create an
education and safety program for students and teachers on how to use this
technology more safely.
·
Post the
warnings written by the manufacturers of the devices contained in the product
information of the Wi-Fi devices your Board has installed, as well as cell
phones and tablets used in the classroom. Your students and teachers should be
aware that the manufacturers do not deem the products to be safe in all
situations.
·
In your
decision to deploy Wi-Fi in your schools, you are relying on Health Canada’s
Safety Code 6. Invest the time to understand the significant flaws in the
process Health Canada uses in its update of SC6.
If you are interested in how the Catholic District School Board is
dealing with Wi-Fi in Schools check out the following information:
UNANIMOUS
BOARD VOTE!
In September, KSTI Wi-Fi in Schools Health Risk Update
was favourably received at a school board meeting for the first time! The
PVNC Catholic District School Board VOTED UNANIMOUSLY to ask for a staff report
on our specific requests to regulate WI-FI exposure in schools.
