Will NYC schools ban cellphones? Chancellor Banks reflects on academic year

from Up Close with Bill Ritter · host WABC-TV, Bill Ritter

The largest school system in the nation wraps up another year of school. There have been successes, and there have been challenges, and more of each to come. We talk to es David Banks about the challenges of the last year -- and what's in store for the upcoming school year. And will it include a ban on cellphones in schools, like others have done or contemplated? We also talk to Dr. Jen Ashton, who has appeared dozens of times on Up Close to help New Yorkers through the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Ashton is stepping down as ABC's chief medical correspondent for a new venture to help women. We talk to her about that, and also about other medical issues, including the increasing popularity of weight-loss drugs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
