Summary
The bill adds new sections to Illinois’ School Code that obligate each school board to set up an appeal process. If a website blocked on a school‑issued device is reasonably tied to a student’s education or future work, a parent or guardian can ask for it to be unblocked. This gives students a way to obtain needed online resources while preserving existing filtering rules.
