NC School Start Coalition MissionOur mission is to inform the public and law makers about the importance of maintaining North Carolina’s current school calendar law. Our coalition is made up of parents, teachers, small business owners and travel and tourism groups dedicated to ensuring students across the state have an adequate summer break. By requiring school districts to start after August 25th and end before June 10th, the 2004 law provides consistency across the state and ensures students have enough time for jobs, camps, family reunions and other traditional summertime activities. Before the current school calendar law passed in 2004, North Carolina consisted of a patchwork of different school start and end dates. Some districts started as early as the beginning of August or even late July. Opponents of the law are aiming to repeal or substantially weaken it during the upcoming session of the NC legislature. These opponents represent a tiny number of North Carolinians but are committed to harming the calendar law. We need your help to stop them. Please sign up for our newsletter in the “Get Email Updates” field above and tell your legislator to support the school calendar law. Contact Info: |
