Most schools require them to be kept in there lockers. However, teachers aren't allowed to search kid's and administrator has to do that then if they're caught with them the 1st offense is 1 day ISS, next is OSS, third is expulsion. My oldest got a waiver from the school to keep his on him bc of my health issues.

I think expelling a kid for a cell phone is stupid. I also think that due to what this particular child had gone through she should've been handled with extreme care.
