The bill passed the Senate last week with bipartisan support. “This new legislation is all about transparency. It's about accountability and ultimately empowering families to make healthier choices about their social media use,” said Assemblymember Nily Rozic, a Queens Democrat who sponsored the Assembly bill.

Penfield Central School District staff and teachers are asking the school board to approve some new textbooks for use in their classes. Those include contemporary books like “The Lost Year,” by Katherine Marsh, which was published in 2023. The book interweaves the story of a 13-year-old boy living through the COVID-19 pandemic with his family’s story during the Holodomor, a man-made famine in 1930s Ukraine during Stalin’s regime. That book would be for ninth grade English classes.
