Relates to Internet safety education curriculum. Beginning with the 2009-2010 school year, requires districts to incorporate an age-appropriate component on Internet safety into the school curriculum, to be taught at least once each school year to students in grades 3 or above. Requires the local school board to determine the scope and duration of such instruction. Allows the age-appropriate unit of instruction to be incorporated into the current courses of study regularly taught in the district's schools, as determined by the school board. Requires the state board of education to make available on its Web site resource materials for teaching children about online safety. Provides that such materials may include information on safe online communications, privacy protection, cyber-bullying, viewing inappropriate material, file sharing, and the importance of open communication with responsible adults. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/95/SB/PDF/09500SB2512lv.pdf
