The Cincinnati Bengals have the city of Cincinnati feeling pretty confident.
Right after the team advanced to Super Bowl LVI after the AFC title game win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Roger Bacon High School Principal Steve Schad led the charge by announcing there wouldn’t be school on Monday, February 14.
Cincinnati Public Schools was right there too, explaining in its messaging to the public that the district called off classes on Super Bowl Monday for “what we believe will be our city’s first-ever Super Bowl victory.”
Funnily enough, the NFL’s new 17-game schedule pushed the Super Bowl back. CPS usually has the Monday after the Super Bowl off, but wasn’t slated to this year. Now it will thanks to the Bengals.
In honor of the Bengal’s first Super Bowl appearance since 1988, CPS will not have school on Monday, February 14! Staff and students will have the day off to celebrate what we believe will be our city’s first-ever Super Bowl victory! #WhoDey pic.twitter.com/VmaTzAM9HQ

Other districts have already joked about it:
I have heard that it could be concerning!

Then there’s Southwest Local Schools, which has told the public classes would be canceled that day if they can raise enough money for The Sam Hubbard Foundation.
Rest assured between now and the Super Bowl itself, we’ll hear about pretty much every district in the tri-state area having some sort of reason for calling off classes.
