A bill for an act modifying provisions related to school district requirements to publish information regarding the school district’s policies and procedures and educational materials available to students in the school district.

HB 156 requires Iowa school districts to publish specific information online about instructional materials and policies. School districts must post a policy allowing parents/guardians to review classroom materials and request exclusions, plus a comprehensive list of all library books and a detailed list of instructional materials (by subject, grade, and teacher) starting in 2025. This affects all public school districts in Iowa, parents/guardians of students, and teachers whose materials are listed. The bill mandates online accessibility of these resources while allowing districts to use digital tools for updates and protecting teacher privacy upon request.
