Board approves code changes to require Yondr pouches for grades 6–12 under Texas law

Dr. Winnifred Goodman presented recommended revisions to the student code of conduct to reflect implementation of Yondr pouches for grades 6–12 in order to comply with House Bill 1481, which requires school districts to prohibit student use of personal communication devices during the school day. "As you know, House Bill 1481 requires Texas school systems to prohibit student use of personal communication devices on school property during the school day," she said, and explained the TEA Phone Free Schools grant that covered most initial costs and provided one day of on-site professional development.
