Delaware's Indian River School District Bans Cell Phones

Delaware's Indian River School District has decided to
prohibit students from having cell phones, pagers, and other communication devices both at school and on school buses. According to the Indian River's School Board President Charles Birely, the District took this step because, cell phones are a distraction that "have no place in the classroom.”
Many public school districts have policies that restrict the possession and use of cell phones and similar devices at school. Such policies, of course, may give rise to legal liability when school officials seize or search a student's phone.
