New York is set to become the nation's largest state with statewide, bell-to-bell restrictions on smartphone use in schools, as announced by Governor Kathy Hochul. Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, this initiative, rooted in NYS Education Law 2803, aims to foster improved learning environments by minimizing digital distractions. The North Warren Central School District will fully comply with this new mandate. Further details regarding the North Warren’s specific procedures for implementation and enforcement will be shared soon. This move highlights a statewide commitment to enhancing student focus and academic achievement.
In New York State, a district-wide safety plan must be made available for public comment for at least 30 days prior to its adoption by the Board of Education.
After this public comment period, the school board can only adopt the plan after at least one public hearing that allows for the participation of school personnel, parents, students, and any other interested parties.
Once adopted, a full copy of the District-wide School Safety Plan and any amendments must be made available to the New York State Education Department within 30 days of adoption, and no later than October 1st of each year. It is also common practice for districts to post the plan on their website.
