SB 156 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

SchCalFlex/Wake/CC.

SB 156 allows Wake County Schools to align its academic calendar with the schedule of local community colleges, specifically addressing scheduling conflicts between high schools and nearby colleges. This change directly affects Wake County students, staff, and schools by permitting them to match community college terms (e.g., semester start/end dates) without violating state calendar rules. The bill amends North Carolina law to explicitly permit this alignment for Wake County, overriding the standard August 26 school start and June 11 end dates. It applies only to Wake County Schools and takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
