"What it does is allow students to have an extra pair or group of people watching over them when they're going from one location to another," Montclair Police Department Chief Paul Cell said

Why not just hire nannies for all the students?
Can anyone say "Indoctrination into a big-brother society." ?

So what would they do to anybody who refuses to comply, expel them?

What if the student just takes the battery out?
Does it stipulate that the phone must be turned on?

The way to handle this is for everyone to exchange cellphones.

I find it interesting that the Montclair State University is a state funded school and is charging the students extra for a mandated phone.  Farleigh Dickerson University is a private school that is issuing the phones as a part of the students tuition.
Both are in New Jersey.  This should explain a lot.

Set the GPSs to emit an electric shock, that'll teach em.
