Splendora ISD adopts policy implementing Texas law limiting student use of personal devices during instructional day
The Splendora Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to adopt TASB Local Board Policy FNCE on Aug. 11, implementing the requirements of House Bill 1481 (89th Texas Legislative Session), which prohibits student use of personal communication devices on school property during the instructional day.

The board recorded the motion to adopt the district policy as made by Trustee Jennifer Stewart, member, and seconded by Trustee Kimberly Klepcyk, secretary. The minutes show the board voted For 6, Against 0 and noted the motion "Passes." The action was listed as "Receipt, First Read and Adoption to TASB Local Board Policy FNCE" on the Aug. 11 agenda.

The minutes state the policy implements the requirements of House Bill 1481 as passed by the 89th Texas Legislature but do not record the policy's specific text or any operational details about enforcement, consequences, permitted exceptions, or timelines. The board did not record further discussion or amendments to the policy in the open minutes.

The district previously held closed session matters earlier in the meeting; the adoption vote occurred after reconvening to open session. The minutes do not list public comment related to this item.
