HB 172 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

School Calendar Flexibility/Camden/August 19.

HB 172 allows Camden County Schools to begin the academic year as early as the Monday closest to August 19 (instead of August 26) if the district demonstrates "good cause" through documented school closures (eight days per year over four of the last ten years) due to weather, power failures, or other emergencies. The bill amends state law to permit this calendar adjustment while ensuring schools still meet required instructional days. It applies exclusively to Camden County Schools and takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year. The change does not affect other schools with existing modified calendars.
