Lake Dallas ISD to explore ConnectED cell‑tower partnership with Diamond Communications and TASB
Summary
COO John Modica presented a no-cost ConnectED partnership pitch from Diamond Communications and TASB that would use existing or new cell‑tower sites on district property; the district could select sites and potentially earn lease revenue from carriers.
John Modica, chief operations officer, presented information about a ConnectED partnership offered by Diamond Communications in collaboration with TASB. Modica said the proposal would come at no cost to the district: Diamond Communications would utilize existing structures or construct new cell‑tower infrastructure and lease space to cellular providers, while the district would determine where towers would be sited and what type of facility is built.
The presentation emphasized the potential for the district to gain revenue from leased tower space; the board received the informational item and no vote was recorded during the meeting. Any future decision on tower placement or agreements would require further analysis and formal board action.
