During the August 12, 2025 Special Called Board meeting, the Inappropriate use of Personal Communication Device Policy was approved following the implementation of House Bill 1481 at all schools in the state of Texas.
HB 1481 prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the school day and while on school property. Devices covered under this law include cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, radios, pagers, or any other electronic device capable of telecommunication or digital communication.
All personal communication devices are required to be turned off and put away before entering the school campus. Personal communication devices shall be kept in a student’s backpack or locker, not in clothing pockets. These devices are to remain off and completely out of view onsite for the entirety of the school day. A school day is defined as from the time the student steps into the campus to the last instructional bell (3:10pm).
Below are the Consequences for Policy Violations included in the Student Code of Conduct.
