Digital Smarts - Cyberbullying on the Increase in NYC Schools
You are here
Cyberbullying in New York City schools rose 19% in the 2015-16 school year, according to data from New York State's Education Department. Officials say the city spends more than $47 million annually on programs and staffing to combat the issue, yet there were still over 900 reported incidents last year. These figures may cause authorities to rethink their strategies on bullying prevention.
