South Brunswick Schools To Have Delayed Opening Post 2024 Super Bowl

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — The South Brunswick School District has made a preemptive move to reduce student and staff absences after the Super Bowl next year, by scheduling a delayed opening.

During last week’s Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Scott Feder told the board that the delayed opening has been included in the 2023-2024 school calendar.

“It was a neat thing that happened in some Philadelphia districts where they did a delayed opening on the Monday following the Superbowl,” Feder said. “So, the Monday after Super Bowl will be delayed opening. We are calling that now and putting it on the calendar.” More: Two-Hour Delay For Philly Schools Monday After Super Bowl

This year, two New Jersey school districts announced a two-hour delayed opening the Monday after the Philadelphia Eagles played the Kansas City Chiefs. More: Late Start For Another South Jersey School After Eagles Super Bowl

The calendar was approved by the BOE during the Feb. 23 meeting.

Next year the Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, Feb. 11, at the Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, NV.
