💨 Abstract

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a plan to ban cellphone use in public schools "bell to bell" starting from the next school year as part of a tentative budget agreement with state lawmakers. The ban would give schools flexibility in implementation, with exemptions for medical, learning disability, or language barrier needs. If approved, New York would join several other states with similar policies, but parents have expressed concerns about the ban, particularly regarding emergency situations.
