The school year has begun in much of New York state, which means we’re seeing a plethora of very cute “first day” photos on Facebook.

But we’re also expecting some significant changes on the horizon that may have both parents and teachers feeling a little extra anxiety these days – specifically changes to the education landscape that could come with a new administration in Washington, as well as changes that we could see right here in New York regarding cell phone policies.

Melinda Person, the president of New York State United Teachers, and Kyle Belokopitsky, executive director of the New York State Parent Teacher Association, joined Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter to discuss these and other issues.
