Texas Educators—It’s Official!

Phone‑free by this September.

HB 1481 is here. $20M in TEA funding.

Is your district ready? Yondr can help.

Texas House Bill 1481 requires schools to be phone-free by September. To support this legislation, Texas Education Agency (TEA) has set aside $20 million for districts to implement phone-free storage solutions like Yondr.

We have helped schools in all 50 states create learning environments where students thrive and teachers breathe easier.

Thousands of schools use Yondr every day. Why not yours?

OUR LEADING APPROACH

At Yondr, we believe the pouch is just one piece of the puzzle. The Yondr Phone-Free Schools Program is a bell-to-bell phone-free approach empowering educators to restore focus and foster meaningful connection among students wherever they learn and gather.

Based on 10+ years experience working with thousands of educators around the world, Yondr’s complete program delivers what works:

  • Clear, customized policy development to support consistent, school-wide implementation

  • Built-in training and onboarding for staff, students, and parents

  • Secure, durable pouches designed for daily use that let students keep phones—without the distractions

  • Fast, reliable unlocking infrastructure to support smooth operations

  • Ongoing strategic support to guarantee long-term success

Our unique, lockable pouch means students keep their phones, but cannot access them during the school day. Teachers no longer have to be the phone police, and pupils get a much needed 6-8 hour break from digital distractions.
