Public school internet policies would face new requirements under this bill regarding how students access online content on school devices. Starting July 2026, local school boards would need to ensure their internet access policies include a system letting parents monitor their child's activity on school-managed devices, and, if a parent requests it, restrict that student's internet access on school devices to only websites the school has specifically pre-approved. School boards would also be required to develop these policies through an open meeting, review them at least every three years, note the date of the last review, and post notice of the policy's availability in each school, along with informing the public about complaint procedures related to the policy and its enforcement.
