Indianapolis schools will start an hour later on day after Super Bowl

Longer delay was shot down by state
Feb. 5, 2010
From The Indianapolis Star: The Indianapolis school district has decided to delay the start of classes by one hour Monday, the day after the Indianapolis Colts compete in the Super Bowl. The district initially was going to delay school by two hours, but state officials said that would make the school too short. The district is trying to avoid a repeat of the day after the Colts' 2007 Super Bowl win, when bus drivers called in sick en masse and forced the district to decide to close in the wee hours of the morning.
