NJ school district limits phone use to curb cyberbullying

A New Jersey school district has implemented a new policy requiring middle school students to store their phones during the school day. Under certain circumstances, school officials have the authority to check the contents of the phone to curb bullying.

It follows the high-profile case of a New Jersey girl who committed suicide after being cyberbullied in a school-bullying incident that was filmed by a mobile phone and posted online by classmates.
