Show Notes
Georgia lawmakers pass bill to expand cellphone ban in public schools, starting with kindergarten through eighth grade in July 2026 and high schools in July 2027. The aim is to create distraction-free classrooms, improve student grades, and encourage face-to-face interactions. Personal electronic devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets, are banned during school hours. School districts must establish enforcement policies and provide storage options for devices. Violations result in disciplinary actions, with exceptions for medical needs, special education plans, and required therapies. The measure, if signed into law, will take effect December 31, 2026.
