    Directs the State Board of Education (SBE) to establish a school calendar pilot program in the Stanly County schools to determine whether and to what extent a local school administrative unit (LEA) can save money by consolidating the calendar. Requires the school calendars for 2011-12 and 2012-13 to include a minimum of 180 days or 1,000 hours of instruction covering nine calendar months, with the opening date for students not before August 24. Allows the Stanly County Board of Education to add instructional hours to previously scheduled school days, and provides that the LEA is deemed to have 180 days of instruction and teachers employed for a 10-month term are deemed employed for those days, in such a situation. Instructs the SBE to report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by March 15, 2012 and by March 15, 2013, on the pilot program, cost savings, and student achievement.
