HB 82 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Study Commission for Local Education Agency Size.

HB 82 establishes a 9-member Study Commission to examine whether North Carolina's five largest school districts face negative outcomes due to their size. The commission, appointed by legislative leaders and local education boards, will study size-related issues in these districts and develop recommendations for potential remedies. It must report its findings and suggestions to the 2026 General Assembly by December 31, 2026. The bill creates a study body with no immediate policy changes; it solely directs an analysis of school district size impacts.
