Scott - Makes since I agree with you but how do you ensure that students do not bring in undesirable things like porn on their tablets? What does this do to CIPA compliancy? Since students today are growing up in a media rich environment perhaps it is time to look at how restrictive we are and

Jackie, I think part of is the key. It is tough to rely on the phone system alone as an intercom because it does not cover the halls and rooms without phones. That said, you can easily tie most phone systems to an paging amp to get the best of both using paging groups. You will want to
