Students at Free State High School likely will be spending another couple minutes a day in class when they return from winter break, all to make up for instructional time lost when officials evacuated the school Dec. 1 following a bomb threat.

Superintendent Rick Doll, told members of the Lawrence school board on Monday that students would need to spend another 4.81 hours — that’s 289 minutes — in school to satisfy state requirements for a full year of instruction.

Doll said that Principal Ed West was still working out details and that the new schedule likely would be in place by Jan. 5.
