Officials had been weighing whether to have classes as scheduled or cancel classes for the day.

"We want to make sure that we came up with a compromise that puts education first by having the school day, while at the same time recognizing that, for staff members that have to be at work by 5:30 (a.m.), it could be really difficult, since the game starts (late)," said IPS spokeswoman Mary Louise Bewley.

In 2007, IPS was forced to cancel classes the day after the Super Bowl because too many bus drivers did not pick up children.

"A two-hour delay provides a compromise that ensures our children will arrive at school safely," said Superintendent Dr. Eugene White. "Children need to be in school, but this is a unique situation that doesn't happen every year. The delay will allow our families and staff to cheer on our home team and focus on the business of education."

Damn! But no time off for Meth hangovers any other day, doesn't seem fair.
