As the current school year winds down, the North Carolina Board of Education got its annual report on school calendars for the coming year. It shows that 15 districts in a dozen counties, with a total of almost 177,000 students, have decided to ignore the state law that requires them to start classes “no earlier than the Monday closest to Aug. 26.”
