The Latest From Long

 Starting Aug. 12, Dallas ISD will enforce HB 1481, a new Texas law banning student use of personal electronic devices during the school day. This includes phones, smartwatches, tablets, laptops, AirPods, and smart glasses.

Elementary: Teachers will collect devices and store them securely until dismissal.

Secondary: Students will use pouches to store devices, which can be unlocked at the end of the day.

If pouches aren’t available on day one, campuses will have a plan to secure devices in backpacks.
