can a school do this? (employee cell phone policy)?

Question

if in the districts employee handbook cell phones are allowed as long as it does not disturbe or disrupt the students or your duty. well for me (bus-driver) i was told that means not while driving or if any students are on the bus. now during our wait time we are allowed to sit inside the schools. well the other day i was told by the front desk lady that i was not allowed to use my phone due to the policies. (now mind you i was in the cafetiria by myself)
i have never had a problem in any other school. can each school inside the district set different rules if they wanted to or do they have to be compatiable with the districts policies???????. a later disscusion with the prinical, she had said it was in her staff handbook. BUT if thats true im not her staff, im an employee of the district. (i did respect the "rule" and went outside) can a school also ban a visitor from using a cell phone in the school?????

Answer 1

Sounds like a case of the school worker being confused as to whose authority you work under! I have seen all kinds of people on cell phones inside my children's school.

Sounds like a question for the school board.

Answer 2

Each school within a district usually has their own set of rules. And, in most cases, the rules apply to people who are visiting on campus. This is so the students can not scream about how they should be able to because someone else did it. Schools are trying not to have a double standard situation going on. Sometimes the rules may inconvenience others, but if the students will be better off because of it, I say let it be.

Answer 3

I would talk to your supervisor and find out the cell phone boundaries and rules. I'd say, you did follow the rules. You work for the district and followed the district's rules. So you should be okay.
However, because the school is most likely in the district, you may have to abide by the school's rules, too.
Like I said before, talk to your (district) supervisor. They should confirm and assure you about cell phone privileges.

Answer 4

Cell phone are a problem in schools due to noise pollution and causing problems with the students, if the students saw you using your cell phone this can cause problems because it is just not fair to the students (they can't use it why should you). Go out side and use it out of respect, they cannot say nothing as if you go have a smoke outside.

Answer 5

If it's a school rule you can't do anything about it. After Columbine lots of schools put a ban on cell phones because thats how the killers talked to each other.

Answer 6

Even though you followed the district's policy on cell phones, I am pretty sure that the school has jurisdiction if you are on their campus. I would definitely ask a board member for clarification.

Answer 7

it would not count number which state you're in! What concerns is what you're promoting agency's coverage on cellular telephone utilization. Technically which means to be speaking on the phone, does it not? the agency would not care what purposes you've kept on your telephone or how a lot you count on the advice it provide you with for the period of your artwork day. earlier you signal the order...and also you'll signal it, make sparkling the project inclusive of your manager. Be reliable adequate and honest adequate to debate the further makes use of of the cellular telephone as they practice on your artwork and hear what he/she has to assert. you may't buttress your case through affirming an user-friendly typo or spelling blunders. you actually have various blunders contained in the question you've written above! it would nicely be too "common college" to you yet you may wager it replaced into the movements of workers that drove them to this order. Are you keen to lose your interest, fantastically in right now's market, for protesting or not signing off in this order? At your age, you want to understand better!
