Statement on New York Adopting Phone-Free School Policy
The statement below can be attributed to Fairplay Campaign Director David Monahan:
“Gov. Hochul and state lawmakers agreeing to a robust, bell-to-bell phone-free school policy is a breakthrough moment for students, teachers, and communities across New York. Fairplay has been advocating to get phones out of schools in New York — as well as around the world — and we commend state leaders for taking this bold action. Thanks to this new policy, New York students will get a healthier education, and a brighter future.”
