This tracker currently identifies 88 distinct titles associated with banning or challenge activity in the Bondurant-Farrar Community School District. That places it among the more active Iowa districts in this dataset, with a broader set of affected titles than many comparable districts in the state. Much of the recent review and removal activity in Iowa schools follows from Senate File 496, a 2023 state law that restricts the age-appropriateness of library materials and requires the removal of books depicting certain sexual content, prompting districts statewide to audit their collections. No verified news coverage of this district's specific removals is available at this time.
