Suckered.

You gotta admire the Naples School Board.

They sure suckered the Ponciana School/ Coach House Lane parents.

The parents want the cellphone tower removed from the Poncianna School parking lot.

Unfortunately, the school board signed a contract with Sprint. A contract they most likely can't get out of for hundreds of thousands of dollars. And the school board doesn't want to break the contract. They LIKE the money they get from Sprint. Plus, they really can't afford to move the tower on their own, even if they wanted to. Which they don't.

Their solution?

The magnanimous board allowed the parents 3 weeks to contact Sprint and convince them to move the cell tower.

Good luck.

"Hello, Sprint. Uh, I'm a parent of a Poncianna School student. I'd like you to move the cellphone tower because although there's no proof, the tower just could be a health hazard to my kid. Yeah, Sprint, just move it away. You can afford it, right?"

You just KNOW that's gonna work, don't you?

3 weeks.

Suckered.

And so it goes.
