    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Detroit Public Schools, registrant
       of antenna structure # 1019984 in Detroit, Michigan.

    2. On January 6, 2006, an agent of the Commission's Detroit Office
       inspected antenna structure # 1019984 located at 5057 Woodward Avenue,
       Detroit, Michigan, and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 17.21: "Antenna structures shall be painted and lighted when.
   . . [t]hey exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above the ground or
   they require special aeronautical study." The Detroit Public School's
   antenna structure is 465 feet and the FCC's ASR database specifies
   painting and lighting specifications for antenna structure #1019984 in
   accordance with FCC Paragraphs A2 and H. FCC Paragraph A2 requires that
   the top and mid-levels of the antenna structure have white capacitor
   discharge omnidirectional lights which conform to FAA/DOD Specification
   L-865, Medium Intensity Obstruction Lighting Systems. At the time of the
   inspection, the agent observed that the structure did not have medium
   intensity lights at the mid-level.

       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Detroit Public Schools,

       taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and should
       include a time line for completion of pending corrective action(s).
       The response must be complete in itself and signed by a principal or
