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]
The Board of Ed is a duly elected body. What's your problem with them making it's own rules?[/quote]

The board of ed lacks the ability to pass laws. That would be the state legislature... [/quote]
Why I said "rules". No one but you said "laws" when talking about banning devices at school.[/quote]

If your rules involve the unlawful confiscation of private property then it does involve the law.[/quote]
In what way is it "unlawful confiscation"? If the school has a rule that a phone will not be used in school or it'll be confiscated, what's the law that's broken?[/quote]
