For weeks now, Superintendent Angela Huseman has been waiting for guidance from the state on how to handle a sweeping new education law that requires the removal of almost every school book in Iowa depicting sex acts.

On Thursday, the Iowa Department of Education finally stepped forward, saying guidance is on the way after initially telling media that districts would need to consult with their local attorneys on how to follow the law.
But with the new school year quickly approaching, some district leaders say the state's instructions might not come soon enough.
