The Indianapolis Star reports: Indiana state officials have warned the Indianapolis Public Schools district that it cannot delay classes for two hours on the Monday after the Super Bowl and still count it as a full day of class.
IPS announced the delay this week in an attempt to prevent a recurrence of 2007, when so many bus drivers called in sick after the Colts beat the Bears in the Super Bowl that the district had to cancel classes. School districts are allowed to delay the start of school for two hours in the case of emergencies like bad weather.
But the state's superintendent of public instruction said Tuesday that he would not look kindly on granting one for the Super Bowl.
