NY Governor Hochul proposes banning student cellphones in schools to improve focus and mental health.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul proposes a statewide ban on student cellphones during school hours starting next fall, aiming to boost concentration and mental health. If approved, the plan will give schools flexibility in how they store devices and will exempt students with medical needs or learning disabilities. The state would provide $13.5 million to help implement the ban, which is part of Hochul's budget proposal.
