Georgia's Distraction-Free Education Act?
Georgia's Distraction-Free Education Act requires bell-to-bell cell phone restrictions in every K-8 public school. Policies alone don't stop phones. Triton Sensors give your school the enforcement layer teachers need, in the places they can't see.
Every district banning phones discovers the same thing: policy without enforcement fails.
Schools from Michigan to Maine report the same workarounds as soon as a ban goes live. Students adapt fast. Without a reliable way to detect phones in blind spots, a bell-to-bell policy becomes a bell-to-bell suggestion.
Bathrooms are the universal blind spot
Every district case study names the same workaround: students use phones in restrooms where cameras aren't allowed and teachers can't follow. Some schools resort to closing bathrooms entirely because they have no way to monitor them.
Pouches and lockers miss "burner" phones
Districts using Yondr pouches report students checking in a junk phone and keeping their real device in a pocket. A storage mandate doesn't matter if the phone in the pouch isn't the students real phone.
Teachers can't be the only enforcement
HB 340 explicitly requires "monitoring and enforcement mechanisms" and "periodic audits." Placing that burden on classroom teachers is how bans collapse. Consistent enforcement is automated with Triton ULTRA.
The Distraction-Free Education Act in five requirements.
Here's what every Georgia district has to deliver by the July 2026 effective date. Each requirement comes straight from the signed bill text.
"Bell-to-bell" is a legal term now.
"Bell-to-bell means the period beginning with the first bell signaling the start of instructional time and ending with the final bell... and shall include all scheduled instructional time, breaks, transitions, assemblies, and other school related activities."
Prohibit all personal electronic devices, bell-to-bell
Smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, e-readers, headphones, and any device capable of messaging, internet access, or media. The definition is intentionally broad to close the smartwatch workaround.
Establish storage methods
Lockers, locked pouches, or designated places in the classroom. Storage alone is not enforcement, which is why the bill treats it as a separate requirement.
Implement monitoring and enforcement mechanisms
The bill explicitly requires "monitoring and enforcement mechanisms" including "periodic audits of personal electronic device storage" and regular review of enforcement practices. This is where most districts come up short.
Progressive discipline for violations
Verbal warnings, confiscation, parental notification, and other actions consistent with the student code of conduct. To apply discipline consistently, you need to know when and where violations are happening.
Apply it to every K-8 school. No waivers.
HB 340 specifically cannot be waived by strategic waivers systems, charter systems, charter schools, or completion special schools. Every public K-8 in Georgia is covered.
Purpose-built for HB 340 compliance.
Triton ULTRA identifies the unique Bluetooth and radio frequency signatures that every modern cell phone emits, even when silenced or in a pocket. When a device is detected in a restricted area, designated staff receive a real-time alert with the exact sensor location. allowing educators to address distractions immediately and create distraction-free learning environments.
- Recover the 4.5 hours of instructional time lost each week to smartphone distraction in the classroom.
- Enforce policy consistently across hallways, bathrooms, and locker rooms where supervision is hardest but misuse is most common.
- Close the "burner phone" loophole that defeats pouch and locker-based storage policies.
Our sensors are more than just a cell phone detector.
Triton ULTRA is a single palm-sized smart sensor that detects cell phones in restricted areas, vape and THC use, fights and raised voices, bathroom loitering, and so much more. No cameras. No recorded audio. Fully HIPAA and GDPR compliant.
Cell Phone Detection
Triton ULTRA uses Bluetooth to detect powered-on cell phones and smartwatches, including devices with Bluetooth turned off. When a phone is active in a restricted area, staff get an instant alert.
- Adjustable range and sensitivity per room
- Detects phones even with Bluetooth disabled
- Instant SMS, email, and app alerts
- Works in bathrooms, locker rooms, hallways
Vape & THC Detection
Industry-leading 98.9% accuracy. Distinguishes vape and THC emissions from false positives like deodorants, cleaning sprays, and steam.
- Detects vape, THC, and cigarette smoke
- Rejects common false positives
- Real-time alerts to responders
Keyword & Aggression Detection
Triggers on customizable distress keywords ("help me," "stop"), raised voices, and signs of physical altercation. Available in multiple languages.
- Customizable words and phrases
- Detects shouting and fighting sounds
- Zero audio stored or recorded
Occupancy & Loitering
Live people count plus alerts when time thresholds are exceeded. The #1 predictor of restroom incidents is over-occupancy.
- Real-time occupancy visualization
- Custom loitering time limits
- No cameras, fully privacy-compliant
Privacy by Design
No cameras. No facial recognition. No identity tracking. No stored audio. SOC 2 Type II certified and safe for bathrooms, locker rooms, and any private space.
- HIPAA and GDPR compliant
- SOC 2 Type II certified
- Approved for sensitive spaces
Unified Dashboard
Triton's cloud platform centralizes alerts, device health, and trends across every sensor on campus. Integrates with Milestone XProtect and existing VMS platforms.
- SMS, email, and mobile app alerts
- Role-based access permissions
- Full API and VMS integrations
From sensor to alert in seconds.
Triton ULTRA installs in ceilings with a single Ethernet connection. Once online, it's continuously scanning for the things you care about. When something triggers, staff know where and when, instantly.
Sensor scans the environment
Bluetooth detection for cell phones, chemical signatures for vape, audio patterns for distress. All processed on-device. No audio or video leaves the sensor.
Alert fires in real time
When a phone signature, vape emission, or aggression pattern is detected, designated staff receive a text, email, or app notification within seconds.
Staff respond with context
Alerts include which sensor, which room, and what type of event. Staff walk directly to the source instead of combing through hallways.
The sensor that works where teachers can't see.
Palm-sized, ceiling-mounted, and silent. Triton ULTRA blends into the environment and gives administrators the one thing teacher-led enforcement can't provide: consistency.

Use Georgia's $50M school safety budget to fund your HB 340 compliance.
Governor Kemp's AFY 2025 budget added $50 million in school security grants, averaging around $21,600 per school on top of existing allocations. Lockable storage and monitoring technology are explicitly named as eligible expenses.
Triton's grants team has helped schools secure millions in funding for safety deployments. Because Triton covers vape, keyword, occupancy, and cell phone detection in one sensor, it qualifies under more grant categories than single-purpose devices.

The sensors have been a blessing to us. It's self monitoring and does exactly what it's supposed to do.
Your sensor was actually instrumental in that. The Triton sensor helped us catch what it was and helped us isolate it. Kudos to Triton for helping us out with that.
