HB 88 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

School Calendar Flexibility/Wilson/Open Calendar.

HB 88 allows Wilson County Schools to set an earlier student opening date (as early as August 19, instead of the standard August 26) if the district demonstrates "good cause," defined as having averaged eight emergency closure days per year due to weather, power issues, or other emergencies over the last decade. The bill specifically modifies calendar rules for Wilson County Schools only, applying to the 2025-2026 school year. It maintains the standard closing date (June 11) but permits local adjustments to meet instructional day requirements. The legislation does not change statewide calendar rules for other school districts.
