A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to give the onslow county schools board of education additional flexibility with regard to instructional time lost in certain schools due to a DECLARED state of emergency.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 115C‑84.2(a)(1) reads as rewritten:
"§ 115C‑84.2. School calendar.
(a) School Calendar. – Each local board of education shall adopt a school calendar consisting of 215 days all of which shall fall within the fiscal year. A school calendar shall include the following:
(1) A minimum of either 180 days and or
1,000 hours of instruction covering at least nine calendar months. The
local board shall designate when the 180 instructional days or 1,000 hours shall
occur. The number of instructional hours in an instructional day may vary
according to local board policy and does not have to be uniform among the
schools in the administrative unit. Local boards may approve school improvement
plans that include days with varying amounts of instructional time. If school
is closed early due to inclement weather, the day and the scheduled amount of
instructional hours may count towards the required minimum to the extent
allowed by State Board policy. The school calendar shall include a plan for
making up days and instructional hours missed when schools are not opened due
to inclement weather.
If, due to inclement weather, a local board of education complies with this subdivision by scheduling 1,000 hours of instruction on less than 180 days, the local school administrative unit is deemed to have a minimum of 180 days of instruction, teachers employed for a 10‑month term are deemed to have been employed for 180 instructional days, and all other employees shall be compensated as if they had worked their regularly scheduled hours for 180 instructional days."
SECTION 2. This act applies only to Dixon Elementary, Middle, and High Schools located in Onslow County and applies only in the 2010‑2011 school year for days missed due to a declared state of emergency.
SECTION 3. This act is effective when it becomes law.
