HB 119 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

School Calendar Flexibility/Pitt/Monday or Friday August 10.

HB 119 allows Pitt County schools to open as early as August 10 (instead of the standard August 26) for the 2025-2026 school year, provided they meet "good cause" requirements. "Good cause" means the county experienced eight weather-related or emergency school closures over four of the last ten years. The bill applies exclusively to Pitt County schools and does not change closing dates or instructional day requirements. It modifies existing state law to provide targeted calendar flexibility for this specific district.
