SB 103 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Make NC School Calendars Great Again.

SB 103 allows North Carolina local school boards more flexibility in setting public school opening and closing dates. It permits schools to open as early as August 19 (instead of August 26) if they demonstrate "good cause" - defined as having closed for 8+ days annually due to emergencies like weather over 4 of the last 10 years. The bill also lets boards adjust closing dates to meet required instructional days. This applies to all schools except those already operating under modified calendars since 2003-2004, and takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
