Put a dead old phone in the bag, put feminine hygiene products in your clear bag.

The old phone trick is really nothing. Strong policies like this make it pointless. Having a dummy phone is the same as not having one, which is fine. The point of the policy is any visible cellphone is not allowed, so will get taken.

50% of the school districts in the nation are using these. My kids school charged $40 to replace them

Making me scared to have children. I saw my nephew's school fees, and damn. Offered to help with those, it was crazy.

My city has a great public school. But if you lost the pouch it cost you $40

No, it allows students to have their phones with them to have them. That seems pretty clear. :)
