Cell Phone Policy

HB 1481

  • Texas House Bill 1481, signed into law by Governor Abbott, mandates that all Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools adopt and implement policies prohibiting student use of personal communication devices (like cell phones and smartwatches) on school property during the school day.
  • Austin ISD is in the process of deciphering this law to determine how it will look on the campus.
  • Basic Understanding: We will not have cell phones and personal electronic devices during school hours.
