The New York Times had a recent article on what schools can and can't do to protect students from online bullies. You can read the article by clicking here.
A serious problem area is Middle School Students - who shouldn't have cell phones with texting capability - nor should they use social media sites - but very few parents even try to control this activity. Schools have been asked to help police what parents have been unwilling to control - and courts have made this very confusing to schools about what can legally be done.
Here are a couple of sites you should check out:

An interesting article about bullying at a school in Massachusetts. Raises good questions about what should be done about it and what the punishments should be. http://www.slate.com/id/2260952/entry/2260953/
