CISD Important Update: New Texas Cell Phone Law for 2025-2026

Posted Date: 6/23/25 (7:34 PM)

Dear Crandall ISD Parents and Guardians,
We want to make you aware of a new state law that will impact student cell phone use starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
Texas House Bill 1481 requires school districts to adopt policies that prohibit student cell phone use inside school buildings during instructional time, with limited exceptions as allowed by law.
Specifically:
  • Students will not be allowed to use cell phones inside school buildings during instructional hours.
  • Schools must adopt and enforce policies to ensure compliance with the law.
Crandall ISD is in the process of reviewing and updating our campus policies to meet these new requirements. We will provide additional details closer to the start of the school year so that families and students have time to prepare.
Thank you for your partnership and support as we work to create the best learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Crandall ISD
