Join the WNY Education Equity Task Force at the Youth Teen Hall

Cell phone access during school hours is a hot topic among students, educators, and parents alike. Governor Hochul has written a proposal to restrict smartphone usage during school hours.

The WNY Education Equity Task Force will be hosting a Teen Hall focused on cell phone use on March 13, 2025, from 10 AM - 2 PM at Jacobs School of Medicine, Room 2120A, 955 Main St, Buffalo, NY.

We invite students, parents, and community members to participate in the “Teen Hall,” where youth will facilitate discussions that explore the implications of cell phone policies, share perspectives, and brainstorm solutions that work for everyone. Seats are limited, and pre-registration is required.

Please contact Vonetta Rhodes at vtrhodes@buffalo.edu for registration.
