You were talking about how hard it is to get access to public record e-mails because of the mountain of nonsense and non-business related stuff that goes on in them. If e-mails on business provided systems were used only for business, it would be a lot easier.<br /><br />And for the record, ONLY the CMS e-mail system is the only e-mail system you can access on a CMS computer. All others are blocked.<br /><br />So if someone has a personal blackberry or a smartphone then they can use their personal service to use other e-mails, and maybe they can now too with iPads, but if they are logged into the CMS system those are blocked.<br /><br />Finally, ALL CMS E-MAILS ARE PUBLIC RECORD. My family knows that anything and everything the e-mail me using my school account is open for ANYONE to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-14761807264299964532012-06-07T06:39:35.551-04:002012-06-07T06:39:35.551-04:00So why doesn't the Observer offer to pay for a...So why doesn't the Observer offer to pay for a full time or part time person on CMS staff to sort and retrieve email for y'all?

That is the whole premise of the Leandro case. The feds have forced themselves into it via the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare clause. To accept federal money, the school system must accept additional "strings". That then is how the feds have "bought" their way in usually with the help of Democrats and teacher unions. Additionally the feds nosed their in via the Civil Rights Act and ESA which dictated public school systems had to "warehouse" the uneducatables like WIllie M's. Can a public school system get out form under the feds? Yes they can. While it is difficult, it can be done. Typically, federal dollars amounted to about 10% of a public school system's budget til the last few years. The feds threw out stimulus money which essentially was just more crack cocaine for educrats and politicans.<br /><br />Several presidential candidates have insisted on ending cabinet positions and federal departments not esplicitly mentioned in the US Constitution. Two most commonly mentioned are Department of Education and Department of Energy. What some at first do not realize about the Department of Energy is that most of their budget goes toward the decommissioning and disarmamnet of our strategic nuclear weapons from Russian disarmament treaties.Bill Stevensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-5076322173791111252012-06-06T21:04:28.037-04:002012-06-06T21:04:28.037-04:00Ann,

In other words, students can break phone rules twice with consequences that include having their phone taken away and but then given back to them at the end of the day. If a student is caught breaking the rules 3 times, a school then has a parent come into the school office to retrieve the phone. A fourth violation results in overnight confiscation of the "accidentally" offending phone. This seems reasonable to me in an effort to maintain some assemblence of order in the classroom that doesn't interfere with everyone else's right to receive a sound and basic education. If your kid's cell phone is interfering with my kid's ability to concentrate and learn, Houston we've got a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-13861706679340447862012-06-06T19:29:06.515-04:002012-06-06T19:29:06.515-04:0010:19

I've had to go into the office with my children to retrieve their phones. While doing so, I've reminded them of the necessity and importance of school rules because their individual needs (as far as their phones are concerned) are far less important than the rights of the whole to receive an education which includes being able to concentrate and focus in class. Also, a teacher's job is to teach which they can't do if they're dealing with student chit-chat, distractions and phones that do everything but launch a missile attack. CMS cell phone rules aren't any different than any other school system- public or private. Did I miss something?<br /><br />I'm not an attorney, but schools have a right to search lockers, handbags and other things on school property. Now, when your kids go off to college they can text all they want during class as long as you don't mine them flunking out and coming home to live on the sofa on your dime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-81430496987061197372012-06-06T19:01:32.070-04:002012-06-06T19:01:32.070-04:00Ann, you will never see those emails, if you do th...Ann, you will never see those emails, if you do they will look like a redacted version of the Nixon Tapes or the Kennedy Assasination.

However, you are wrong. A ringing phone in the purse is absolutely a violation of the student code of conduct.<br /><br />"...A student may possess a cell phone on school property, at after-school activities and at school-related functions, provided that during school hours and on a school bus, the cell phone remains off and put away. Possession of a cell phone by a student is a privilege which will be revoked for violations of this policy. Violations may result in the confiscation <br />of the cell phone (to be returned only to a parent) and/or other disciplinary actions. The district is not responsible for theft, loss or damage to cell phones or other electronic devices brought onto its property."<br /><br />(page 9 of the Student Code of Conduct)<br /><br /><br />Why was your daughter's phone on in violation of this school policy?
