HB 610

Requires the Department of Public Instruction to study the feasibility of requiring each local school administrative unit to maintain at least one year-round school for grades K-12 (specifies that all grade levels do not need to be offered year-round at the same school). Requires examining administrative and operational costs, transportation and other logistical challenges, barriers to establishing a year-round school, and anticipated enrollment if year-round school were more accessible. Authorizes working with a third-party to complete the study. Requires a report, and legislative or budgetary recommendations, to the specified NCGA committee by January 15, 2027.
