Website helps families see school smartphone policies
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday, Aug. 14 the launch of a website — — that enables New York parents and students to look up their school's plan for implementing bell-to-bell smartphone restrictions this fall. According to a news release from Hochul's office, the website allows New Yorkers to search by district or school name among more than 1,050 public school districts, charter schools and BOCES that have already published their policy for the coming school year — representing about 96% of the about 1,090 total districts and schools covered by the statewide requirement. School administrators across the state are implementing the plans as part of a new law to require bell-to-bell smartphone restrictions in K-12 schools statewide. 'Our kids succeed when they're learning and growing, not clicking and scrolling — and that's why schools across New York will be ready to implement bell-to-bell smartphone restrictions this fall,' Hochul said. 'As we look ahead to the start of the school year, communication is key — and our new online resource is making it easier for parents and students to review their school's plan.' The remaining districts and schools yet to finalize their policies are expected to do so in the coming days at upcoming school board meetings scheduled for August. The state's online resource will continue to be updated when any additional policies are published and submitted, the release stated. The law enacted this year requires bell-to-bell smartphone restrictions in K-12 school districts statewide, starting this fall for the 2025-26 school year. New York's statewide standard includes: • Prohibiting unsanctioned use of smartphones and other internet-enabled personal devices on school grounds in K-12 schools for the entire school day, including classroom time and other settings such as lunch and study hall periods; • Allowing schools to develop their own plans for storing smartphones during the day — giving administrators and teachers the flexibility to do what works best for their buildings and students; • Securing $13.5 million in funding to be made available for schools that need assistance in purchasing storage solutions; • Requiring schools to give parents a way to contact their kids during the day when necessary; • Requiring teachers, parents and students to be consulted in developing the local policy; • Preventing inequitable discipline The policy allows authorized access to simple cellphones without internet capability, as well as internet-enabled devices officially provided by schools for classroom instruction, such as laptops or tablets used as part of lesson plans. Additionally, the policy includes several exemptions to smartphone restrictions, including for students who require access to an internet-enabled device to manage a medical condition, where required by a student's Individualized Education Program, for academic purposes or for other legitimate purposes, such as translation, family caregiving and emergencies, according to the release.

Last batch of rare final Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins entering circulation
The final batch of Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins are entering circulation across the UK, the Royal Mint has announced. More than 23 million Queen coins are being released alongside 7.5 million new King Charles III £1 coins. The Royal Mint said the last of the Elizabeth II coins, dated 2022, are the rarest £1 coins in active circulation. The historic transition – with the dual release of almost 31 million coins – represents a significant moment for UK coinage, as the nation witnesses the changeover from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her son and heir on the £1 denomination, the Royal Mint said. The Queen's £1 coins will be the final ones bearing Elizabeth II's portrait to enter circulation. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'This release represents a pivotal moment in British coinage history. 'As we release more of the King Charles III £1 coins into circulation alongside the final coins of Queen Elizabeth II, we're witnessing the physical representation of our monarchy's transition. 'This dual release creates an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned numismatists and those new to coin collecting.' The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to check its change over the coming weeks, as the new coins begin to appear in pockets and tills across the nation. Ms Morgan added: 'Finding these new coins in your change could spark a rewarding hobby that connects you with the heritage, history and craftsmanship behind British currency.' Since the introduction of the King's effigy on UK coinage in 2023, the 50p and £1 are the only denominations with Charles's portrait to have entered circulation so far. The King's £1 coins feature an intricate bee design on the reverse and are part of the Definitive collection, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Some 2.975 million £1s with the King's effigy were released in August last year. In total, there are around 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins representing only around 0.004% of those, making his new coins highly desirable to collectors. All UK coins bearing the Queen's portrait will remain legal tender and in active circulation to allow a smooth transition and minimise the environmental impact and cost.

UK pay deals hold at 3% as employers eye next budget, Brightmine says
LONDON (Reuters) -Pay settlements by British private-sector employers held at 3% in the three months to July and uncertainty about the economy and possible further tax increases means that cautious approach is likely to continue, wage data firm Brightmine said. The figures represented the eighth monthly Brightmine report in a row to show the median private-sector pay deal was 3%. In the three months to July last year, settlements were 4%. Sheila Attwood, Brightmine's HR insights and data lead, said employers were unlikely to take much comfort from official data last week showing Britain's economy grew by a stronger-than-expected 0.3% in the second quarter. "Many employers are continuing to approach wage decisions with caution, keeping wage rises at 3%, in the face of continued economic uncertainty and the looming autumn budget," she said. Numerous businesses have said they are being squeezed by April's tax increase. Finance minister Rachel Reeves is now back under pressure to plug an expected shortfall in the public finances later this year. The Bank of England is watching pay growth closely as it tries to work out when and whether to cut interest rates again. It reduced borrowing costs earlier this month but suggested it might move more slowly going forward due to inflation pressures. Brightmine used data from 19 pay settlements in the three months to July 31 covering more than 600,000 employees.
