Mobile Phone Policy

Texas HB 1481, effective August 2025, already aligns very closely with our current practices, so the adjustment for our campuses will be minimal. The primary change is that students will no longer be allowed to use their phones during the lunch hour, ensuring consistency with the new law across the entire school day.
