Georgia’s School Cellphone Ban

Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down the final days of the legislative session from the Capitol, starting with a push to expand Georgia’s school cellphone ban to high schools. Greg and Patricia speak with state Rep. Scott Hilton, who makes the case for the bell-to-bell ban and outlines how schools would phase it in. They also examine the broader education agenda, including a literacy overhaul and tensions between the House and Senate. Then they dig into accusations that Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is stalling legislation tied to the governor’s race and what it signals about power struggles under the Gold Dome. Have a question or comment for the show?
