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

This bill modifies the school calendar for Wake County Schools, allowing them to align their opening and closing dates with the calendar of local community colleges. It exempts schools with a modified calendar from the standard opening and closing dates. The bill also allows local boards of education to adjust these dates if necessary to meet minimum instructional requirements. It defines "good cause" for calendar adjustments as schools being closed for eight days per year due to severe weather, energy shortages, or other emergencies over the past decade.
