My brother’s school placed restrictions (through device management) on our ipad and now I can’t open some apps at all, no matter the time of day, even when my brother is not during “highschool hours” and it’s very annoying. What can I do ?

You’re going to get to debate ownership and management with the school IT folks and with your brother.
You may well own this iPad, but the school has seemingly absconded with device management.
Should you be able to delete the profiles—some profiles can be deleted, and other profiles can be locked against deletion—that profile removal is probably going to cause issues for your brother.

If it was not given out by the school, you can go to Settings > General > Profiles and remove the management that is there. You should also reach out to the school and inquire about why they are managing devices that aren't theirs.
Contact the school IT department. This is their device however, and they are unlikely to change a blanket policy for one person to whom the iPad was not assigned.
