SF 2405 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to trainings and curricula regarding specific defined concepts provided by public institutions of higher education and school districts.

SF 2405 requires public schools and colleges in Iowa to ensure that all staff, contractors, and volunteers avoid promoting stereotyping or scapegoating based on demographic group membership or identity in any curriculum, educational materials, or training. It prohibits school districts from using public funds or resources to support such content and mandates that all relevant personnel receive training on these requirements. The bill allows parents, employees, or residents to file lawsuits seeking to stop violations without needing to prove personal harm. This policy directly affects school districts, higher education institutions, and their employees, contractors, and volunteers who develop or deliver educational content.
