Based on a Flagler County School Board directive, SiteSafe performed a radio frequency emission study on the cell tower at Flagler Palm Coast High School and concluded that the emissions are well within FCC standards.

The cell tower is situated behind the football stadium’s visiting bleachers.

Anthony Handley, SiteSafe’s director of engineering, presented the results to the School Board at a Jan. 23 workshop. Dave Freeman, the district’s chief of operations, said 15 locations around the FPC campus were measured during the survery on Dec. 20.
