House committee substitute to the 2nd edition makes the following changes. 

Amends new GS 115C-102.1 by no longer authorizing a public school unit to provide lesson plans to be updated throughout the school year if all updates are completed by June 30, and use online collaborative software, documents, or spreadsheets to allow multiple users to update content, during the school year. Adds the requirement that the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) make available to public school units one or more templates for providing information as required by the statute. Allows a public school unit flexibility in determining the most effective means of compliance with the statute's requirements, including, but not limited to, using any of the following in its discretion: (1) providing a template created by the DPI to teachers to facilitate reporting of lesson plans; (2) creating one or more templates to provide to teachers to facilitate reporting of lesson plans and the unit to customize templates for grades or courses and auto-populate any instructional materials required by the public school unit as part of the curriculum for a particular grade or course; (3) allowing the use of online collaborative software, documents, or spreadsheets to allow multiple authorized users to update content; and (4) authorizing updating lesson plans throughout the school year, if all updates are completed by June 30.
