Big tech changes hit Amarillo high schools

Walking into Amarillo high schools this year, students are facing a total ban on personal tech—no phones, tablets, or even smartwatches. But here’s the real curveball: even if your kid already owns a Chromebook, they can’t use it. Everyone is required to rent a school-issued device for $40, so the district can control what’s on them. Lockers are gone, backpacks are lighter, but tech rules are tighter than ever. How do you feel about schools taking this much control over student devices? Is this the best way to keep kids focused, or is it over the top? #Education #Amarillo #SchoolTech
