    WINDSOR, NY ( WIVT/WBGH) – Governor Hochul joined a roundtable discussion at Windsor High School today to talk about the effects of smart phones and technology in the classroom.

    The roundtable had representatives from several local school districts, including teachers, parents, and administrators.

    Hochul, who joined the discussion virtually, referenced a study by Pew research that shows that 72% of high school teachers across the country say that students are distracted by cell phones in the classroom.

    The governor plans to propose a statewide policy to tackle excessive smart phone use in schools.

    Hochul plans to hold several other round tables on the subject over the coming months.
