CENTRAL SQUARE, N.Y. — The Board of Education in Central Square has unveiled a new policy regarding the usage of cell phones within schools. This decision comes in response to a proposal from Governor Kathy Hochul, which aimed to address the growing concerns over digital device usage in educational settings across the state.
The policy outlines specific guidelines for students and staff regarding when and how cell phones can be used during school hours. The Board emphasizes the importance of maintaining a focused learning environment, free from distractions that personal devices can often create. Under the new rules, students will be required to keep their phones stored away during class, with designated times for usage during breaks.
Parents and educators have expressed support for the initiative, believing it will enhance student engagement and academic performance. The Board of Education is committed to fostering a productive learning atmosphere, and this policy is seen as a significant step toward achieving that goal.
