New York State School Cell Phone Ban – Parents Say It Should Be Their Call, Not The Governors

Many Capital Region parents are upset at the proposed blanket call phone bans for schools that Governor Hochul is looking at launching in fall 2025. Bringing a cell phone to school is something that many of us didn't even have the option for when we were attending classes. When I was in college I didn't even have a cell phone as they weren't as easily gotten as they are now. Times have changed and now most kids have a cell phone, and some of them have them at an early age.

To merge or not to merge: New York State offering increased aid to consolidating school districts

NEW YORK- As of July 2024, school districts in New York State that reorganize—or merge—are eligible for financial assistance of up to 40 percent of the Total Foundation Aid Base under the Reorganization Incentive Operating Aid (RIOA) program. Unfrozen in the 2024-2025 state budget, RIOA is available to reorganized school districts for up to 14 years after merging, on a phase-out basis. New York State encourages consolidation for districts with small student populations as a solution to issues caused by low enrollment. Several districts in the state have already made the decision to merge, and more are considering the possibility.

Pennsylvania New York New Jersey Maryland & Virginia could see severe storms in the mix Sunday

The weekend begins with the old back door cold front across Virginia and the onshore flow which is keeping things rather cloudy cool and raw. Unlike the last couple of days where the clouds did burn off for the most part today it will be more of a struggle. Satellite loops show clouds locked in well inland and it is unlikely that we will see these clouds burn off. This means temperatures today will likely stay in the 50s all day with readings closer to 50 near the coast. While the radars are not picking up much, there is spotty drizzle around and that will be the case for most of the day especially near the coast.

Hochul, Trump fail to reach agreement on congestion pricing in high-stakes meeting — as prez says he won’t divulge ‘private conversation’

Try, try again – if you didn’t succeed in your last Oval Office meeting. President Trump and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul failed to reach a formal agreement on congestion pricing Friday, according to a spokesperson for the governor who nonetheless called the high-stakes White House meeting “productive.” The sit-down came just a week after Hochul cast herself as leader of the anti-Trump “resistance” amid growing tensions with the president, especially after the feds moved to kill congestion pricing, as well as sued the Empire State over its sanctuary city policies for undocumented immigrants. Gov. Hochul’s unguarded prisons and...
