On December 12, 2022, the North Carolina House Select Committee on An Education System for North Carolina's Future issued its finding that the current school calendar law is not best suited to the needs of students and educators and that local boards of education should be given greater calendar flexibility; the Select Committee recommended the “General Assembly take action and change the school calendar law.” At the time of this writing, two statewide and 14 local school calendar bills (including House Bill 106) have been filed in the current legislative session. These bills would give more control to the local boards of education to create a school calendar that better fits the needs of their students and community.
The attached resolution in support of an amendment to the current school calendar law is presented for your review and approval.
A motion would be in order to approve the resolution supporting local control of school calendars.
