North Carolina S163 provides flexibility to Chatham County Schools in adopting their school calendar and assessment dates.

North Carolina S163 allows Chatham County Schools to adopt a modified school calendar that concludes the fall semester before December 31. It also permits these schools to administer assessments prior to the semester's conclusion. The bill specifies that the opening date for students should be no earlier than the Monday closest to August 26, and the closing date should be no later than the Friday closest to June 11. The State Board of Education can waive the August 26 opening date requirement if there is good cause, such as severe weather conditions or emergency situations.
