In most states yes, if the child is using the phone inappropriately. For example, the big thing today is texting other students, playing games instead of doing school work, etc. Typically the school will call in the parent, explain what happened, and give the phone to the parent with a warning. Personally my children took cell phones to school with the understanding it was only to be used in case of an emergency. If they broke that rule, they would face my wrath, and as a former Marine I had a lot of that!
