Under current law, GS 115C-84.2(d) sets the parameters within which local boards of education must determine the opening and closing dates of public schools under subdivision (a)(1) of this statute. Amends GS 115C-84.2(d) to provide the local boards of education with additional flexibility in adopting their school calendars by removing the specified opening and closing dates. Retains the current provision allowing local boards to revise the scheduled closing date if needed to comply with the minimum requirements for instructional days or instructional time. Applies beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
