HB 138 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

School Calendar Flexibility/Gates/Community College.

HB 138 allows Gates County Schools to align their academic calendar with the College of the Albemarle’s schedule, starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The bill amends state law to permit this alignment without requiring a "good cause" waiver for weather-related closures, though existing waiver rules for severe weather remain unchanged. It directly affects Gates County Schools and their students, staff, and community college partners. The provision applies exclusively to Gates County and does not alter minimum instructional day requirements.
