Governor Hochul announced plans to introduce legislation to ban cell phones in K-12 education, aiming to enhance focus and minimize classroom distractions.
Our young people can succeed in the classroom when they're learning and growing—not clicking and scrolling, emphasized Hochul, reflecting on feedback from educators and parents.
The ban, which would impact all K-12 schools in New York, follows similar initiatives in states like Alabama and Florida that aim to reduce smartphone distractions.
Although the concept was proposed earlier, pushback from parents concerned about emergencies highlighted the need for balanced discussions on the subject.
