Cell phones to be banned from Milwaukee's Bradley Tech

Cell phones will be banned from Bradley Tech High School when students return Jan. 3 in the aftermath of problems last month that resulted in the arrest of 18 people following a fight, Principal Edward M. Kupka said Wednesday.

At the second meeting of community leaders in two weeks to discuss how to improve conditions in and around the school, which sits in the heart of the Walker's Point community, Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton reported that between four to six disruptive students have been reassigned to other educational facilities.

A second wave of students "who aren't focused around the theme of the school" also will be moved to other educational programs, he said.

And students who have to leave school early for a legitimate purpose will receive county bus passes instead of waiting for a yellow school bus, he said.
