Superintendent says changes possible in the fall The Beacon City School District is considering changes to its policy on student cellphone usage, a thorny subject that many schools have wrestled with. Superintendent Matt Landahl said on Wednesday (June 12) that changes could be implemented in the fall to "strengthen our policy" but provided no details. Landahl said he plans to update the community this summer. The district's existing policy, adopted in 2021, says that phones are allowed during "non-instructional time" if students follow the district's code of conduct and the acceptable use policy. According to the code, teachers and administrators can confiscate phones if students are violating the policy. However, several parents asked the school board in April for more restrictions. One parent, Hana Ramat, a psychotherapist whose son will enter Rombout Middle School in the fall, said this week that she hopes the district will require students to turn in their phones while at school. Echoing comments made in recent years by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Ramat said there's an "epidemic of mental illness" among children and teens. Research, she said, suggests that smartphones, which were introduced about 20 years ago, have been a major factor. "Especially with young girls, the research is very clear and the impacts are severe," Ramat said, citing eating disorders, depression, anxiety and body dysmorphia as conditions all potentially exacerbated by online culture. "The social media algorithms lead you down these roads, and it's very disturbing how fast it goes," she said. Ramat said she and her husband don't plan to give their son a smartphone until his mid-teen years. In the interim, they're considering a phone without internet access or a device like an Apple Watch that he can use for basic communications. Other schools in the region, both public and private, have adopted or are close to instituting no-phone policies. Haldane High School last year introduced "No-Cell Motels" - repurposed shoe organizers in which students place their phones during class. One school year into the policy, "there are fewer distractions and the bathroom breaks are much shorter," said Tom Virgadamo, the president of the Haldane teachers' union. The private Manitou School in Philipstown and Hudson Hills Academy in Beacon have also banned phones in class. The Kingston school board is considering a proposal requiring middle school and high school students to leave their phones in locked bags, while the Newburgh school board agreed last fall to a deal with Yondr, a company that manufactures locking phone pouches. Something like a Yondr pouch in Beacon would free teachers of the burden of policing for phones while instructing, Ramat said. It would also restore face-to-face time, or "the precious childhood time of connecting and building relationships," during lunch, recess and in the hall, she said. John Drew, a Beacon resident who is a digital media professor at Adelphi University in Long Island, also spoke to the school board in April. He said Wednesday that, even at the college level, many students believe they need access to their phones at all times. "It almost makes it sad to be a teacher, because the devices are more powerful than any teaching strategy I can come up with," he said. Drew empathizes with his daughter, who will also enter Rombout in the fall, because so many of her friends have phones. "It's impossible for her to not want to have the access that her friends have" to social media and the internet, he said. While a 2020 survey by the National Center for Education Statistics showed that more than 75 percent of schools nationwide have banned cellphones except for academic use, Sarah Jaafar, a Beacon High School junior who is a student adviser to the school board, offered counterpoints during the April meeting. If the district implements further restrictions, it should start with younger students, "so when students go into the hig...

Capital project would mean tax increase The Beacon City School District has proposed a $49 million capital project, its largest in years, for district residents to consider when they vote on the 2024-25 budget and elect three school board members in May. The proposal would fund sweeping improvements at all six of the district's school buildings, with the work to be completed in the summers of 2026, 2027 and 2028. If approved, it would also be the first school capital project to trigger a property tax increase in at least 15 years. Before being added to the May 21 ballot, the school board must approve the plan, which is expected to happen at its March 18 meeting. The district estimates that a home valued at $300,000 would see a $127 annual tax increase. With the state STAR exemption, which affords homeowners savings on school taxes, the increase would be $114, and it would be $91 for seniors enrolled in the Enhanced STAR program. The tax impact could decrease over time if new construction, which would spread the district's tax levy, continues in Beacon. Superintendent Matt Landahl told the school board on Monday (Feb. 26) that building condition surveys, which New York State requires every five years, led the district to consider a range of upgrades. "We're struggling to keep up with the needs of our older buildings, including the high school, which is our newest building" from 2002, he said. Regarding the tax increases, "we don't take this lightly at all. We're racing to keep up with our aging buildings," Landahl said. "It doesn't make sense to make any of these investments a la carte anymore," said Kristan Flynn, who chairs the board's Facilities & Operations Committee. "If we're going to fix them and make them most effective, we have to fix everything around them." If voters approve the funding, the district would make heating and ventilation upgrades at the six schools, replace selected roofs depending on need, address Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, create secure visitor entrances and make energy-efficiency upgrades, among many other projects and repairs. Many classrooms will receive new flooring, ceilings, lighting, windows and doors, while the stage and theater at Beacon High School will be upgraded and new playground equipment installed at Sargent and Glenham elementaries. The tennis courts and baseball and softball fields at the high school will be improved and the cafeterias and gymnasiums at the four elementary schools and Rombout Middle School will be air-conditioned, creating "cooling centers" for students to rotate through on hot days. Landahl said he plans to meet with parent-teacher organizations at each school in March and April, and will hold virtual and in-person community meetings in April to discuss the projects. The school board on Monday approved an emergency resolution for one repair that can't wait. The gymnasium ceiling at South Avenue Elementary, the district's oldest building, is in danger of collapsing after back-to-back heavy snowfalls and rain in January, Landahl said. The repair, which could cost up to $300,000, will be paid for through a combination of insurance coverage and a capital fund approved by voters in 2021. Physical education classes have been held outside or in a sectioned-off area of the cafeteria while the gym has been inaccessible. Because it's an emergency, the state is expected to fast-track the design approval, and the goal is to have students back in the gym this school year, the superintendent said. Meanwhile, the bulk of the work on the $26 million capital project from 2021 will conclude this summer. At Beacon High School, highlights of the projects that remain include upgrades to two science classes and the television and media studio. The athletic track will also be refurbished. Two science labs and two art classrooms will be renovated at Rombout, among other projects. At the elementary schools, a new library will be constructed at Sargent near the entrance o...
