Red Bank Regional High School is implementing a new cell phone ban this year. Freshmen must store their mobile devices in special cell phone towers during class.
The new policy in the 1,200-student Monmouth County, N.J., school is designed keep students focused — and to help stop kids from using their phones to bully classmates. It is one of several initiatives and programs New Jersey schools are implementing this year amid calls for more efforts to prevent bullying and improve the mental health of students nationwide.
