unblock chess​.​com in Montgomery Public Schools, MD

The Issue

On Mar 6,2024, I checked chess.com and I found it was blocked in Montgomery county, MD school computers. This is shocking news, as other school districts in other states also banned chess.com and many chess.com school accounts is unusable if passwords are forgeted. My reason is the same as the other petition to unblock chess.com.（reference: https://www.change.org/p/unblock-chess-com-72d1c04c-8f7a-4d1c-94a9-a245d30b2093?source_location=search that achieved victory with 328 supporters.)

I hoped chess.com could be unblocked in MCPS soon.
