HISD Bans Personal Devices in Schools | Houston News
Description
Houston ISD just dropped a major tech ban: no personal devices—phones, smartwatches, earbuds—allowed on campus during the entire school day, from bell to bell. This statewide crackdown, mandated by Texas’ House Bill 1481, forces students to stash gadgets in lockers or backpacks, leaving classroom focus—and face-to-face learning—front and center. No more quick scrolls or hallway distractions; only school-issued tech for lessons. It’s a bold step toward quieter halls and deeper engagement, turning screens off to turn attention back on.
