***(TEXAS)  New laws for schools, Public school districts are now required to enforce a personal device (Phones, Watches  all electrical devices) ban for students during school hours. Gov. Abbott signed HB 1481 into law on Sunday. It requires school district policy to either ban personal devices from campuses entirely or mandate students to lock them away.

Several new Texas school laws have recently taken effect or will soon, including a ban on mobile phones during school hours and a requirement to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Additionally, a School Of Choice will launch in late 2026.

Here’s a breakdown:1. Mobile Phone Ban: What it is: A new law mandates that public school districts either ban mobile devices entirely or require students to lock them away during school hours  📴 .

Enforcement: Schools must implement disciplinary actions for violations, including confiscating devices.

Effective: The law is already in effect.

2. Ten Commandments Display: What it is: Senate Bill 10 requires schools to post a specific version of the Ten Commandments in each classroom. Implementation: The display must be at least 11 by 16 inches and can be a poster or framed copy. The law goes into effect on September 1st.
3. School Choice:  What it is: Senate Bill 2 establishes an education savings account program, allowing participating families to use public funds for private school tuition and other education expenses. Launch: The program is slated to launch in late 2026. Funding: Participating families will receive an amount equal to 85% of the per-student funding that public schools receive. Impact: This will allow families to choose private education options with public funding support.
