NYC moves to lift school cellphone ban
New York City plans to end the long standing ban on cellphones in schools. Mayor de Blasio touted the change during his tenure noting his son attends public school. He has not set a date for ending the rule but stressed parents need a way to contact their children. At schools with metal detectors the ban is enforced and students must pay for phone storage. Students say the storage cost is a daily burden and want phone access for safety and contact.
