    Includes several whereas clauses.

    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 board of education for the Martin County Schools with additional flexibility in adopting their school calendars by requiring the opening date for students be set no earlier than the Monday closest to August 10 (currently August 26). Establishes that all first semester examinations can be given before winter break, regardless of the opening date selected for students. Eliminates provisions authorizing the State Board of Education to grant a waiver to allow the opening date for students to be earlier than the specified date on a showing of good cause.

    Applies only to the Martin County Schools. Applies beginning with the 2017-18 school year.
