It looks like you need to add an access control statement to your
squid.conf file (/etc/squid/squid.conf).

The squid.conf file is huge, every little detail is documented in
comments. The section you want is right about the middle. Add in
an acl statement for the IP range your clients use:

   acl mynetwork src 170.215.49.0/255.255.255.0

and then an "allow" statement

   http_access allow mynetwork


This replace "170.215.49.0/255.255.255.0" with the IP range that your
clients use.

Then restart squid and see if that did the trick.

If not, can you please post the actual error you are seeing?

It would also be useful to know how you have the proxy setup. As I'm
sure you saw in the wiki, there are a number of ways you can install
squid (http://k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/WebFiltering%3AIntegration)
