Description:  In accordance with House Bill 1481, enacted by the 89th Texas Legislature, Texas public school districts are required to adopt and enforce policies governing student possession and use of personal communication devices during the instructional day.  The pouches provide campuses with a consistent, districtwide tool to support implementation of the law while allowing students to maintain possession of their phones for emergency situations outside of the instructional day or as otherwise permitted by district policy.  To support consistent implementation of this state requirement, the administration recommends the purchase of Yondr cell phone pouches in the amount of $199,784.

This purchase will be funded entirely through the 2025-2026 Phone-Free Schools Grant Program, Cycle 2, resulting in no cost to the district's General Fund.
