Can the county ban cell phones in schools? I went to high school in the 90s and electronics were banned like beepers and the old brick cell phones.  If somebody had a beeper, it would be confiscated and returned at the end of the day.

It's not appropriate for MCPS to make up its own laws based on their or parental whim. These are issues for our elected officials. [/quote]

Actually, the MCPS policy in the 90s was if you got caught with a beeper or cell phone, they would suspend you for 5 days with an automatic request for an additional 5-day suspension and request for expulsion. They would also call the police. It was really dumb.[/quote]

I'm surprised nobody took them to court for this. I don't think they have the authority to confiscate private property because some administrator thought it was a good idea. We have rights and actual laws in this county that need to be followed even by public school authoritarian. [/quote]
