In the 89th Texas Legislative Session, state lawmakers passed House Bill 1481, signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott, prohibiting students from using personal digital communication devices during the entire school day, including instructional and non-instructional time, while on school property.
Personal digital communications devices that are prohibited for student use during the school day, as defined by the law, include:
• Cellphones
• Tablets
• Smartwatches
• Earbuds and headphones
• Paging devices
• Any other electronic device used to communicate with others
What does this mean for Quitman ISD?
When your child returns to school on August 13, use of these devices will be prohibited during class time, transitions, and lunch. This means students will be required to keep these devices securely stored in their backpacks or lockers and turned off during the school day.
I am pleased to share the attached procedures, expectations, and consequences pertaining to the new law with you. https://5il.co/3mb3c
Your collaboration is essential in upholding these important standards and ensuring that all parties are aligned. Together, we can foster a positive and lasting impact on student learning and enhance our school environment for the benefit of everyone. If you have questions or need clarification, please reach out to your child's campus principal. Thank you for your invaluable support.
