Survey seeks thoughts on student cell phone use
Governor Kathy Hochul's new "bell-to-bell" cell phone guidance will be implemented across New York State for the 2025-26 school year. This directive mandates that all school districts, including Dutchess BOCES, establish policies to limit personal device use during school hours. The core objective is to reduce distractions and cultivate optimal learning environments that promote student success and well-being.
