SchCalFlex/Durham/Aug 10 and Assmnts.
SB 208 provides Durham County Schools with flexibility to adjust their school calendar start and end dates. It allows the district to set an earlier opening date (around August 19 instead of August 26) if they meet the "good cause" standard (having averaged eight weather-related closures annually over the past decade). The bill also permits Durham to administer standardized assessments earlier if their calendar ends the fall semester before December 31. This law specifically applies only to Durham County Schools for the 2025-2026 school year and does not affect other districts.
