You may see more and more schools doing this. Colleges and Universities have invested in emergency notification systems (such as E-call). They ask students to provide contact info for their mobile devices so the school can send out emergency alerts. Unfortunately, at many schools the participation level is less than 50%. Some of the schools are using this as a means to increase participation.
At least on school that I know of is also offering the E-call system to parents.
