NY City Council votes to let students carry cell phones to school

Parents who say their children need to bring cell phones to city schools have gotten a boost for their cause from the City Council, reports Newsday.

"The council passed a measure Wednesday that gives children the express right to carry cell phones to and from school. The measure didn't change a long-standing ban on cell phones inside school buildings in the nation's largest school system, but it could help buttress legal challenges to the policy or help force the education department to compromise and find a solution.
