I support Hochul’s plan – No unsanctioned use of smartphones and other internet-enabled personal devices on school grounds in K-12 schools for the entire school day, including classroom time and other settings like lunch and study hall periods.

I support local control – Let our school districts, principals and teachers decide what’s right for our students and maintain their ability to teach valuable lessons about time management and the role of technology in our lives.
