While I commend Cobb for these measures. Once the HB 1009 bill (zero cell phones for ALL grades while in school) is implemented (most recently for grades 9-12) then student apps during a school day will be useless. If the student cannot access when needed on their device then it's a waste of money.
Great information for incoming 9th graders preparing to make the transition from middle to high school! Listening to this podcast with Principal TJ Perry made us feel like our son will be just fine.
