Cedar Rapids Gazette: The Iowa City Community School District is pursuing litigation to challenge Gov. Kim Reynolds and the Iowa Department of Education’s interpretation of Senate File 2310, which gives guidance to schools returning to learn during the coronavirus pandemic. The Iowa State Education Association teachers union invited the district to join its lawsuit against the governor’s office, which it plans to file later this week. School board members voted unanimously Tuesday evening to join the litigation, saying they wanted to protect local control and create their own metrics for a safe return to school.
