Back to School
Indianapolis Public School students might not get most of the morning off the day after the Super Bowl.
IPS is planing to delay school by two hours on Monday because of the big game, but the Indiana Department of Education tells Indiana Barrister News that state rules mandate students must be in school the entire time and delays can only be used for emergency situations like the weather.
The State says IPS would have to make up the day later in the school year, or let school out two hours later on Monday. A Department spokesman says IPS could ask for a waiver to allow the 2-hour delay, but it’s unlikely it would get it for the Super Bowl.
