Books in Schools

This tracker currently lists 27 distinct titles that have been banned or challenged within WACO Community School District. That figure places the district in the middle range compared to other Iowa districts tracked on this site, many of which show similar counts as a result of statewide review processes. Much of this activity follows from Iowa Senate File 496, a 2023 law that restricts library materials depicting sex acts and requires school libraries to maintain age-appropriate collections, prompting districts across the state to review and remove titles. No verified news coverage specific to WACO's book removals is currently available; this page will be updated as reporting becomes available.
