New Personal Communications Device Law Texas House Bill 1481, a new state law, will take effect during the 2025-26 school year and will directly impact student personal communication devices during instructional hours (defined as first bell to last bell). Exceptions are possible with documented medical needs, IEP or 504 accommodations, or other health and safety requirements as outlined by the law. Students may not use personal cellphones, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds or similar devices during instructional hours. This includes lunch, recess and passing periods. Please begin talking to your child now about this upcoming change. Your support will help us create a more focused learning environment. Aubrey ISD will share more information as the plan is developed.
