There have been many federal cases that “allows schools to discipline students for off-campus behavior that results in a substantial disruption of the learning environment at school” (Patchin).

In certain states, the bullying law specifies provisions allowing the school to discipline students... In every state besides Montana, the bullying law requires schools to have a formal policy to help to identify the behavior and discuss the possible formal or informal disciplinary responses... Some laws require certain elements to be included in the policy, and others require policy without specification” (Patchin).
