SB 133 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

NCCCS LMS/NCLDS.

SB 133 requires North Carolina's State Board of Community Colleges to select a new learning management system (LMS) for all 58 community colleges by 2027, with proposals due by December 2025. The system must align with those used by K-12 schools and the University of North Carolina. It also updates definitions for the North Carolina Longitudinal Data System (NCLDS), clarifying what student data (like grades and enrollment) and workforce data (like employment) can be collected. The bill exempts community colleges from standard state IT procurement rules but focuses primarily on the new LMS requirement.
