on district computers. How can we be held responsible for cyber-bullying that occurs on the student's computer outside of school hours? If it spills over into the school day, then it is something we have to address, however.

I think that schools that are allowing students to bring in hand-held devices might be re-thinking their leniency--- at least one district (that I know of) is revoking that privilege as being too disruptive.
