Talbot County Bans Phones in Schools | Dover News

Talbot County Public Schools is launching a bold new policy: “No Cell. Bell to Bell,” banning all personal devices during school hours starting August 24th, aiming to boost focus and safety while preparing for Maryland’s statewide mandate by 2028. After successful pilot programs at Easton and St. Michaels Middle Schools, administrators report improved behavior and learning — though students and staff will need time to adjust. Exceptions exist for medical or approved accommodations, and clear consequences are in place. This move signals a major shift toward distraction-free classrooms across the district.
