Regarding cellphones...the rules that I can remember from HS were pretty much that cellphones were not allowed. If a student HAD to carry a cellphone, then it must be kept off or on silent. The cellphone had to be kept in a locker or somewhere far so it wouldn't distract the student.
If the teacher catches you with a cell phone they can confiscate it. It really is up to the teacher, they can give it back to you at the end of the class period, day, or they can turn it into the office. If it is turned into the office then they will call the parents let them know that the cellphone is confiscated and that they can pick it up or the student will get it back at the end of the semester.
I'm not sure of the legality, but it probably is since it hasn't been fought yet.
