March 2007--NC School Administrators form agenda AGAINST the present School Calendar Law
The reasonable school calendar mandated by House Bill 1464 in 2004 (and now recognized as SL 2004-180) will be challenged during the 2007-2008 legislative session if the NC School Administrators have their way.
Read more and see how they're publicizing their desires.
The position of SOS-NC: It is not yet clear exactly HOW this group will try and push its agenda. There is, no doubt, a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. For now, we are encouraging our constituents to contact their elected representatives and let them know that ANY change or challenge to the present law is unwarranted. A problem was fixed in 2004; why break it again?
February 2007--House Bill 359 (HB359)
A law that would grant waivers to the present school calendar law for any number of reasons. Essentially all local systems/boards would have to do is ask, and then they could set their start and end dates whenever they please.
This is the ONLY bill that is still eligible for consideration for the current legislative session (2007-2008).
