Red Bank Regional implemented the policy months after the suicide death of a 14-year-old girl at another school.

-- A local high school is taking on cellphones -- the distractions and even the distress they can cause -- by implementing a new policy for the school year.Regional High School, all students have to leave their phones inside what educators call a"cellphone hotel" during class.

The concept is pretty simple. Students place their cellphones in a holder as they enter class, and they're assigned a number throughout the year. "I think it's excellent. I'm really excited for the kids to just be able to connect when they're in class and have it away from them so they can focus on their teachers," another parent said.
