A fine. Sure. Pull out the student handbook and see what it states regarding inappropriate use of cell phones...It will likely tell you that there is some type of fine. How much are they asking for? (BTW: She won't learn the lesson if you pay the fine for her)Can my daughters school legally withhold her phone for a cash penalty for her having the phone out in class?
Two words: Library fines.I have never heard of a public school collecting cash fines for any offense.
A parent should go to the school and demand it be returned immediately.
Once the parent has it let the child earn it back.

It's really not. If my child (Senior in HS) were to be caught with her cell, she would be monetarily punished like the OP's situation. Pay the fine or you don't get your phone back till school lets out. She understands this and knows that if she violates the school policy SHE will be paying to get it back. Personally I love the policy.I guess I have been out of school too long. I never knew school libraries to collect fines. They just wouldn't allow you to check out more books until you returned them.
Of course, at the end of the year books not returned did have to be paid for.
Anyway... Fines for disciplinary issues, that seems very unusual to me.
