Cell Phone AUP by Curtis Moritz

I believe first of all, that all authority for enforcing a cell phone use policy should reside with the local school districts. Cell phones have become so widespread and diverse, that the state laws have been receiving complaints from parents, who as US citizens, have the right to request changes in state policy. In response, many states have revised or even completely eliminated a policy for cell phone use in public schools. "That is the case in Connecticut, whose state legislature revised its law regulating cell phone possession in schools to give local districts more latitude in dealing with the issue, said Vincent Mustaro, senior staff associate for policy for the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE)." (E. DeLisio, 2007) I think that the state level of deciding this issue is far too complicated, and the discression should be passed on to the school campus. Even in an individual classroom, the teacher is the one who ultimately decides what consequences are to be taken for misuse of any cell phone policy.
