NewsChannel 9 spoke one-on-one with Governor Kathy Hochul on Thursday to address a variety of her current projects, including sending refund checks to New Yorkers and considerations to ban cell phones in schools statewide.
Hochul said the idea of limiting cell phone use in schools goes back more than two years. She said: “…we were seeing a high number of teenagers and even pre-teenagers dealing with mental health challenges that we’d never seen the likes of before. So you have to peel back and find out what’s going on.”
