Well it depends on what the handbook says. If the handbook says anything about taking photos then there might be something. However, if nothing is in the hand book then the school has no leg the stand on. Alos, the device has to be clearly defined. A cell phone simply isn't a cell phone anymore. Its a camera, mp3 player, internet browser. If its not clearly defined then that could be a problem. I also fail to see what the big deal is. Some students took very poor photos of the teacher. She wasn't doing anything she shouldn't have been so there is no slander case, they were not sexual in nature, so its not porn shot by a minor. Its kids being dumb with a cell phone. Who hasn't tried wasting a teachers time in the classroom (I was a teacher for a year).
