House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.

Further amends GS 115C-84.2 by no longer requiring local boards to identify the statutory exemption allowing an earlier school start date in their reports on their instructional calendar submitted to the Superintendent of Public instruction and State Board of Education and to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee. Specifies that the local boards' duty to determine the dates for opening and closing public schools includes year-round schools. 

Amends GS 115C-84.3 allowing a public school in a county with a local school administrative unit that has been closed eight days per year during any four of the last 10 years because of severe weather conditions, energy shortages, power failures, or other emergency situations (was, in a county with a local school administrative unit that has received a good cause waiver for the school year) to use up to 15 remote instruction days or 90 remote instructional hours when schools can't open because of severe weather, energy shortages, power failures, or other emergency situations and may use that time towards the required instructional days or hours for the school calendar.
