Good morning, Iowa City.

Regina Catholic Schools in Iowa City will cancel classes and activities on Thursday, Feb.

6 and Friday, Feb. 7 due to a high illness rate, with officials reporting 248 students absent (23% of the student body) and taking steps to slow transmission and clean facilities. Students will return Monday if symptom-free.

On Wednesday, Iowa lawmakers advanced a bill that would ban partnerships between schools and public libraries + mobile libraries from hosting events at school properties.

Supporters say it aims to limit minors' exposure to explicit material, while critics warn the move could reduce access to books in rural areas.
