A bill for an act relating to school districts, including by modifying provisions related to the executive officers of the boards of directors of school districts and authorizing residents and employees to request audits of school districts.

Iowa Senate Bill 2090, introduced by Senator Doug Campbell on January 22, 2026, proposed changes to school district governance and financial oversight. The bill aimed to:

1. **Modify Executive Officer Roles**: It sought to require school district boards to annually elect a chief executive officer who would not be the superintendent, thereby separating the roles of superintendent and board executive officer.

2. **Authorize Audit Requests**: It proposed allowing residents and employees of a school district to request audits of the district's financial condition and transactions if they believed funds were being misused.

The bill was referred to the Senate Education Committee and assigned to a subcommittee consisting of Senators Evans, Pike, and Zimmer on January 27, 2026. As of September 9, 2026, there is no record of further legislative action on this bill. ([legiscan.com](https://legiscan.com/IA/bill/SF2090/2025?utm_source=openai))
