The Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Gov. Kim Reynolds, seeking to block the enforcement of a mandate requiring schools to hold at least 50 percent of classes in person this fall.
The ISEA, which represents over 34,000 employees in Iowa’s public school systems, argued in the court filing (pdf) that the Republican governor doesn’t have the authority to override some districts’ plans to rely primarily on remote learning due to the ongoing pandemic.
