New York City kids will be banned from using cellphones, tablets and smartwatches during the school day starting this fall.

Each of the Big Apple’s roughly 1,600 public schools will decide how to roll out the new policy, approved Wednesday night by the city’s Panel for Education Policy in a 14 to 1 vote.

“I am proud to be introducing a policy that takes input from unions and advocacy groups, families, community members, and our students into account,” Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos wrote in a statement after the vote.

The mandate aligns with a push by Gov. Kathy Hochul to ban phones and other electronic devices in schools.

Students will still be allowed to use the devices during their commutes, but will have to store them away from bell to bell, under the policy.

Exceptions will be made for students who use the tech for medical purposes, like monitoring insulin, or for those who are directly responsible for the medical care of a loved one.

Teachers may also let kids use phones for “specific educational purposes,” according to the policy, which the schools chancellor said will be “dynamic.”

“This is going to be a dynamic regulation. We will have periodic checks on how implementation is going,” Aviles-Ramos said.

Details of the rollout will vary, with principals given leeway to determine specific protocols for how students will stash their phones at the start of classes and get them back at the end of the day.

One option floated has been for schools to purchase magnetic pouches — that cost $30 a pop.

The city has allocated $25 million for schools to implement the policy, including storing the devices and making sure there’s a system for parents to reach their kids in case of an emergency.

“The state cell phone ban was the first step in putting our kids back on track to learn and thrive in safe, nurturing environments, and this new cell phone policy is the next step in ensuring students are given the best shot to succeed in school,” Mayor Eric Adams wrote in a statement.

Aviles-Ramos noted students won’t be immediately suspended on the first instance if they refuse to hand over a cellphone.

“We want to make sure equity is the heart of it,” she told the panel.
