Allows Wake County Schools to align their calendar with local community colleges.

This bill allows Wake County Schools to adjust their opening and closing dates to match the calendar of local community colleges. It permits local boards to revise scheduled closing dates if needed to meet minimum instructional requirements. The bill defines "good cause" as schools being closed eight days per year for four out of the last ten years due to severe weather, energy shortages, or emergencies. This act applies only to Wake County Schools and is effective starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
