The Texas law was designed to offer flexibility for each district to establish a policy that meets the district’s needs.
Another large district in the San Antonio area, North East ISD, approved its cellphone ban policy before the first day of school.
NEISD’s policy allows students to use their devices during non-classroom time, such as lunch periods and passing periods.
Northside ISD students are allowed to bring a communication device or cellphone to school, but it must be powered off and in a backpack from the first bell ring until the school day is over.
