📵 𝗛𝗕𝟭𝟰𝟴𝟭: 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱
Beginning this school year, Texas House Bill 1481 requires all public school districts to prohibit student use of personal communication devices — such as phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and tablets — during the school day.

Caldwell ISD will follow this state law by requiring students to keep all personal communication devices off and out of sight throughout the school day, secured in a backpack, purse, locker, or vehicle.

This change promotes a focused learning environment, reduces distractions, and encourages face-to-face interactions between students and staff.
