Milestone Communications has been measuring the radiation exposure from their school cell towers. This measurement information is publicly shared. You can view the reports of all measurements here.
According to the documentation sent, PGCPS school cell towers were emitting radiation at levels that well exceed what other localities- such as LA School District allow.
PGCPS cell tower radiation is higher than the LA School District radiation limits.
Los Angeles School District would not allow the radiation levels PGCPS schools have!
The Los Angeles School District uses a radiofrequency radiation threshold level that is 10,000 times lower than the current Federal Communications Commission standard. The LA School District has BANNED cell towers at schools.

The LA School District uses a lower radiation limit of 10, 000 times lower than the FCC. Read a letter here.
"The District shares your concerns as many questions remain regarding RF exposures. That is why the OEHS established a precautionary threshold level that is 10,000 times lower than the current Federal Communications Commission standard. A supplemental report was recently commissioned by our office to validate the use of this threshold as well as conduct in-classroom monitoring to
document compliance."
document compliance."
-Yi Hwa Kim, Office of Environmental Health and Safety, Los Angeles School District California
The LA School District states that, “ the District is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its students and staff and will continue to review all relevant and appropriate information regarding RF exposures and health.” You can read the LA report on radiation here http://achieve.lausd.net/cms/lib08/CA01000043/Centricity/domain/135/pdf%20files/RadiofrequencyEvaluationReport.pdf.
Note: The FCC guidelines refer to a power density limit of 1,000 W/cm2. The LA School District uses a limit of 0.1 W/cm2 .
Therefore, it seems that the following calculations apply to Prince George's County Schools with cell towers. Please correct our calculations if we made a mistake here.
The Tasker Middle School cell tower
Maximum radiation documented by the Report dated 4/8/2015 found radiation levels at 0.6645% of the FCC limits. This means the maximum radiation measured at Tasker was at 6.6545 W/cm2.
The Tasker Middle School cell tower radiation is resulting in roughly 66 times the radiation allowed at Los Angeles Public Schools. See the Tasker Radiation Level Report.
The radiation measurement survey dated 2/4/2015 found maximum radiation was at .50% FCC limit which which means the maximum radiation level was surveyed at 5W/cm2.
Therefore, the compared with LA public schools, the Flowers School cell tower is resulting in about 50 times the radiation allowed at Los Angeles Public Schools.
The Oxen Hill cell tower
In a survey 3/29/2016, maximum radiation was at .0490 % FCC limit which which means the maximum radiations level was at .49 W/cm2.
Therefore, The Oxen Hill cell tower is resulting in about 4 times the radiation allowed at Los Angeles Public Schools.
In a survey 2/4/2015, the maximum radiation was at .040 % FCC limit which which means the maximum radiations level was at .49 W/cm2.
The Green Valley cell tower is resulting in about 4 times the radiation allowed at Los Angeles Public Schools.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says this specifically about cell towers.See this screen save from their website. 
The radiation measurements show that these towers are not violating federal law which states that cell towers can not result in radiation levels that exceed FCC limits. However, meeting FCC regulations is NOT proof of safety because FCC regulations are 20 years old and based on 30 year old science. Many many medical and expert groups state that FCC limits are NOT protective. Read about that here.
