HB 111 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

School Calendar Flexibility/Chatham/August 10 and Assessments.

HB 111 grants Chatham County Schools flexibility to set an earlier school start date (as early as August 19) and adjust assessment timing. It allows the district to open before the standard August 26 date if they demonstrate "good cause" (eight or more emergency closures in four of the last ten years due to weather or other emergencies). The bill also permits administering annual assessments earlier if the fall semester ends before December 31. These changes apply only to Chatham County Schools beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. The bill modifies existing education statutes to create this specific exception for the county.
