๐ข New State Law Prompts Changes to Personal Communication Device Use in La Joya ISD
At the July 30, 2025 Board Meeting, La Joya ISD School Board approved a new district policy in alignment with Texas House Bill 1481, which requires school districts across the state to limit the use of personal communication devices during instructional hours.
๐ฑ What this means for our students:
Starting with the 2025โ2026 school year, students in Pre-K through 12th grade will not be allowed to use cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, or similar electronic devices during the school dayโfrom arrival to dismissal.
๐ Devices can still be brought to school, but they must be:
โข Turned off before entering the school building
โข Stored securely, either in backpacks, designated areas, or district-issued locking pouches (depending on grade level)
โข Left untouched until the end of the instructional day
๐ Implementation will vary by campus level:
โข Elementary: Devices stored in backpacks or teacher-designated spaces
โข Middle & High School: Devices must be stored in district-provided locking pouches
โข HOPE and College & Career Center: No personal devices allowed on campus
โ ๏ธ Progressive discipline will be used for violations, ranging from verbal warnings to device holds.
This policy is designed to minimize distractions and improve safety across our campuses, ensuring that students stay focused and engaged in learning.
