Answer 1

Blocking cell phone signals intentionally is illegal. The US federal government, the FCC, and the cell companies don't like it.

There are diagrams online on how to make devices that block the signal. Check out your favorite search engine or go over to http://www.makezine.com/blog/ and do a search for such a device.

As late as about 2001 you could purchase devices in the US if you met certain FCC criteria. (High-class Manhattan restaurants are still known to have some of these devices in operation in order to provide a good dining experience.)

That said, you mess around with the analog and digital frequencies used by cell phones and you will mess up your school's wi-fi system.

A work around would be to have a no cell-phone policy while at school. Parents who have an emergency can send a message through the office. Heard on NPR about a school doing just that a few weeks ago.

Oh, and those thick panes of glass with the wire mesh running through them to keep people from breaking into the school...they're perfect for killing a cell phone signal. Install the glass everywhere possible and you'll create more dead zones than Stephen King. But this would cause problems for your wireless computer connections too. Unless you have a ton of repeaters placed throughout the school. This of course is the expensive option.
