This new project was announced today and is so significant that I am giving it as the only item tonight. Experts have been warning for years that children are being endangered by being exposed to wireless radiation in schools. They may become ill while students or suffer as adults because of exposure in schools that didn’t need to happen and shouldn’t have happened. Many of us have provided scientific evidence to Ministers of Education, to School Trustees and the Public Health Officials. Teachers have asked for safe places in which to teach, yet wireless technology is used in schools throughout the province and country.
This group is from the USA but, in many of their documents, simply exchange “FCC” with “Health Canada” and the information applies here. I have asked the organization for permission to use their templates and “Canadianize” them and will let you know when I receive their response. Please read the letters and documents hyperlinked in the article, and please consider sharing widely. There is power in numbers.

Announcing the TechSafe Schools project!
Grassroots Environmental Education and Grassroots Communications are very pleased to announce the launch of the TechSafe Schools project – a multi-faceted program designed to help schools reduce exposure to RF radiation.
The TechSafe Schools project consists of a personal letter addressed to school administrators, a legal letter from seven prominent attorneys with experience in wireless radiation and tort litigation; a short Q&A brochure about RF radiation in schools and an invitation for school officials to attend one or more of three national webinars we will be sponsoring in early March.

Our initial outreach to 350 schools in the Northeast and California began this week, and we are planning additional outreach to more schools in the weeks to come. In the meantime, please follow and share the social media posts from Americans for Responsible Technology and send the news about the TechSafe School project to your local school officials.
Thank you for your support of our efforts to protect students, teachers and staff from exposure to RF radiation in schools!
PRESS RELEASE
“TechSafe Schools” Aims to Reduce
Student Exposure to Wireless Radiation
Team of Expert Attorneys Advises School Officials
to Take Steps to Avoid Potential Liability
(New York) A team of distinguished attorneys with experience in telecommunications and tort litigation has sent a letter to several hundred public and private schools in the Northeast, notifying school administrators of the potential for legal liability if they fail to take steps to protect the health and safety of students under their care by reducing exposure to radiofrequency radiation (“RF radiation”) emitted by wireless networks, laptops, tablets and other wireless devices. The letter is one part of a multi-pronged advocacy initiative known as TechSafe Schools, which provides school administrators with recent scientific studies documenting harm from exposure, and includes detailed technical instructions for school IT personnel to mitigate exposures.
“Decades of research have demonstrated how chronic exposure to RF radiation can impact human health, and why children’s developing bodies are uniquely vulnerable,” says Patricia Wood, Executive Director of non-profit Grassroots Environmental Education which designed the program. Ms. Wood is the recipient of the EPA’s National Children’s Environmental Health Excellence Award and a Visiting Scholar at Adelphi University. “This program promotes wired access to the internet, which is faster, more reliable and secure, and comes with none of the potential problems associated with wireless technologies.”
“Accumulated peer-reviewed scientific evidence clearly confirms that current government standards are inadequate to protect our children – and the rest of us,” says Dr. Devra Lee Davis, founder and President of Environmental Health Trust (EHTrust.org), which helped to provide scientific studies for the TechSafeSchools website. “Wireless microwave radiation can damage basic biological processes, and the push to increase wireless exposures in schools constitutes a massive uncontrolled experiment with our children as the subjects.”
“A substantial body of evidence builds a prima facie legal case for heightened vigilance and fiduciary responsibility on the part of school administrators, school boards and parents,” says Julian Gresser, twice Visiting Mitsubishi Professor at Harvard Law School who is leading the TechSafe Schools legal team. “Our goal is to chart a clear path of collaboration among all parties to create a ’21st Century Resilient Classroom,’ where students and teachers have access to the best and fastest technology available, but without jeopardizing their health and well being.”
Three national informational webinars, open to both school officials and members of the press, are part of the TechSafe School project; on March 9th, a team of attorneys will present legal information and answer questions; on March 11th, a medical and scientific panel will present the latest information on the links between exposure to wireless radiation and human health; and on March 16th, an expert on radio-frequency mitigation will answer technical questions about mitigation techniques. The webinars are open to school officials and members of the press. Reservations and more information at www.TechSafeSchools.org/webinars.
