Provides flexibility to Durham County Schools in setting school calendar dates and administering assessments.

This bill allows Durham County Schools to set their own opening and closing dates for the school year, with certain exceptions. It also permits these schools to administer assessments before the fall semester concludes if the semester ends before December 31. The bill defines "good cause" for revising scheduled closing dates and specifies that final exams must be held within certain timeframes. It becomes effective for the 2025-2026 school year.
