Libertyville School District 70, Please Replace Securly With A Less Restrictive Software

The Issue

Students within the Libertyville School District 70 are encountering barriers to expanding their learning horizons with the current use of Securly, a web-filtering tool deployed in the education system. Although faithfully serving its purpose to block inappropriate content, Securly has been seen to overly restrict access to many beneficial, non-school related content sources that can potentially aid the learning process. For the 2,850 students in the district, this presents a significant drawback as it limits their ability to explore and learn at their own pace (source: Public School Review). Therefore, we, the concerned citizens, urge the board of the Libertyville School District 70 to reevaluate the use of this restrictive web-filtering software. An upgrade to a less prohibitive tool or a recalibration of the current settings may offer the solution to this matter. Our children's academic development, technological competence, and learning freedom are at stake here. We hope for your responsive action to these pressing concerns. Please sign the petition to support more balanced internet use in our schools.
