What happens when students put their phones away for the entire school day? In this episode of Let's Talk Schools, hosts Brian Noyes and Samantha Maxey discuss Georgia's new bell-to-bell personal communication device restrictions and what they mean for students, families, and schools.

Joining the conversation are Dr. Kevin Scott, Director of Student Discipline, Prevention and Intervention, and Dr. Terrell Awak, Principal of Creekside High School, who share insights on implementation, student support, parent concerns, and the benefits they expect to see in classrooms and across school campuses.
