WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Cell phones have officially been banned in classrooms during this legislative session, and all public schools have their own rules on what to do with the phones, like lockers or pouches.

While some school districts have funding for pouches for their students, most school districts we spoke with adopt their own rules and disciplinary actions when funding isn’t readily available.

Schools had to come up with their own rules to make sure their students won’t use their phones, such as confiscating them if they are caught or in-school suspension.

Some students, like Fairfield High School senior Callie Morgan, even leave them in their cars.

“If it does for some reason come on, it doesn’t let any alarms go off. I just don’t want it to get taken up,” Morgan said.
