A sign for van-accessible handicapped parking is shown outside a Cedar Rapids school on May 12, 2016. In an IowaWatch review of Iowa school districts' annual equity reviews, the category with the most ADA non-compliance citations was parking, including passenger loading zones. The reviews are conducted by the Iowa Department of Education in a handful of districts each year.
IowaWatch reporter Hannah Soyer obtained equity review documents from the Iowa Department of Education for reviews conducted from the fall of 2010 through February 2016.

The largest categories of non-compliance were parking and passenger loading zones, with a combined 336 citations, followed by toilet rooms with 157 and entrances with 122.
