School superintendent Eugene White said, with approval from state overseers, that he's imposing a one-hour delay and a half-hour late dismissal on Monday.What? So not only do those lucky bastards get to watch the Super Bowl, but then they get to sleep in an extra hour? How on earth is that fair? We never had that for our Super Bowl! 8 hours after the Eagles lost to the Pats in Super Bowl XXXIX, I was getting my ass up for a normal school day cotdamnit! And if New Orlenas wins a Super Bowl, shouldn't we at Bloom compressed schedule so the campus can celebrate it's first alum to don a Super Bowl ring? It's only fair, right?
The school department had originally said it would open schools two hours late on Monday to avoid the confusion that occurred three years ago when too many bus drivers called in sick after the Colts' last Super Bowl appearance. But state officials balked at the plan, suggesting it violated standards at how long students must spend in class.
Indianapolis officials then worked out the compromise. Said White to the Indianapolis Star, "I do not want to rehash what happened in the Super Bowl last time. I'm just trying to be proactive."
And what on earth is an hour going to do to these bus drivers and kids? If the bus drivers (and/or some of the older high school kids) want to live up a Super Bowl and get completely hammered before, during, and after the Super Bowl, they are going to do it no matter what and I doubt that one hour is going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. Then again, I'm not from Indy where apparently drunkenness and hangovers go away all of a sudden at 8 in the morning.
