Starting with the 2025-26 school year, a new Texas law (HB1481) requires districts to limit student use of personal communication devices during the school day. Under HB 1481, all student electronic devices must be left at home or powered off and put away while on campus during the instructional day. Students may not use personal devices at any time during the school day. This helps reduce distractions, protect student privacy, and support learning.
