HB 610 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Year-Round School/Study.

House Bill 610 directs the Department of Public Instruction to conduct a study on the feasibility of requiring each local school district to maintain at least one school operating on a year-round calendar for grades kindergarten through 12. The study will examine administrative and operational costs, transportation challenges, and potential barriers to establishing these schools. It will also assess anticipated student enrollment if year-round options were more accessible. The Department can work with a third-party for this research and must report its findings and any recommendations to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by January 15, 2027.
