    Under current law, GS 115C-84.2(d) provides authority to local boards of education to determine the opening and closing dates for public schools under subdivision (a)(1) within the specified parameters provided in subsection (d). This act amends the specified parameters to provide that the local boards of education for the Onslow County Schools and the Pender County Schools can set the opening date for students to be no earlier than the Monday closest to August 14 (currently, August 26). Deletes provisions that allow the State Board of Education to waive the opening and closing date requirements upon a showing of good cause by a local board of education. 

    Amends GS 115C-174.12(a)(4) (concerning the administration of annual assessments of student achievement) to authorize a local board that has implemented a school calendar that concludes the fall semester prior to December 31 to administer assessments prior to the conclusion of that semester.

    This act applies only to the Onslow County Schools and Pender County Schools, beginning with the 2017-18 school year.
