The OP talked about BYOB, which rarely includes "root access" (either via a root cert for decrypting traffic or admin level access to the machine)..

I was referring to the machines they were preventing the installation of Firefox on.

For BYOD, I don't know what you're gonna do. Many students have smartphones too (some with tethering), and you can't control what they look at on those either. Plus, even if the school could somehow magically lock everything down 100% within the confines of the school building, the students can still get access to whatever at home, or using coffeeshop WiFi, or whatever.

That's fine, these are not school responsibility. Once the parents complain, you can redirect them to their home or coffeeshop.

You can use special paint on the buildings that blocks RF. There are also cell phone jammers. They require a license and approval from the FCC and have legal implications / risks.
